Looking 4 a bit of advice on this example. Do you think this piece could pull MS or is it only an AU? RD or RB? All comments are welcome & appreciated. Thanks!

This coin is most definitely MS; an AU example wouldn't have so much original red mint luster left.

It looks like MS-62 (possibly RD), although it is really hard to tell. The pics are a bit fuzzy, would you mind retaking them?

My camera is notorious for adding a purple hue under artificial light... so I had no choice but to take these with the flash on (which unfortunately is causing the uneven color). For now this is the best I've managed. I'm not as concerned with the color designation as much as the AU/MS designation...but I'll attempt to follow up with more pix when the sun rises.

I'm debating whether it's worth getting slabbed as 1/2 of the ANACS promo.
Many thanks.

The coin looks like it has been artifically colored to me.

Based on the new pics, I'd say MS-62 RB.

Is that a small die chip at the top of the A in America?

Great eye! I investigated under 16x & it looks like part of the device is raised/missing. I don't have any other examples to compare it to, but it certainly appears to be.
