Hello,
I wonder if anyone could kindly give me a grade and or approx value for this lovely coin?
It is a very bronze sort of colour.

It is hard to tell, but it has too little red color to be considered in my opinion of course, others might think differently. however the grade could potentially be a MS-60 ++. Wait for an expert grader to come along.

It looks to be a great coin, but the pictures need improvement to distinguish the higher levels.

Yes, I thought it came out a little small!

Here is a slightly larger picture

Thanks for the input. I like to put a grade in my wee database of coins!
When I look through my loupe there is no discernable wear, but the photographs do make it look that way. Maybe the light?
The coin certainly hasn't been cleaned by me, in the last 30 years since I've had them. The coin came from a pile I received from my grandads' sister when I was little, she used to live in Canada. I guess it might have been, but it was just loose in a bag with many other cents and quarters.
