Based strictly on your images I would say MS-65.
I see only one mark (on the ribbon) and a slight softness in the strike.
No opinion as to whether it's been cleaned.
That for me would require the coin to be in hand.

That color looks quite odd.

I would say AU55. I see what I think is rub on the lower hair curl and hair line. The details a bit mushy, probably from an older die. IMO, I don't think the surfaces are original as there are darker and lighter areas.

Hair curl, ribbon, and tips of feathers appear to have a touch of wear. AU-58

Tough crowd here. I really like the look of this coin, and dont think it has been cleaned. Old dip? maybe, but I think it would grade. I would not go anything less than ms64 on this beauty, and would be proud to have it in my type set. No way is this an au55 imho....the luster basically jumps out of the screen. It might grade AU58, if the TPG graders are hung over, grumpy, and currently undergoing accusations from their supervisor of overgrading....lol. |

I like the split hair above the ears but I see what people are saying about the lower curl, so unless this is a soft strike I'm grading it AU-64 which means AU 58+.
A lot of times with copper a nice 58 with luster is a prettier coin than splotchy RB 64.

Ohhh, what a beauty of an Indian, MS-64 for me, I think the color is just the way the photo was taken.

The color is pretty much dead on as pictured. Very pretty in hand. My dealer had it labeled as MS62 in the 2x2.
