I'm guessing its NGC graded and if so I am going to guess they gave it a MS-62BN grade

I'm going to wait till the end of the day (Sunday) to post the results. But I want to ask Bryan1315: How did you know this was graded by NGC? And why did that influence the grade you gave? You're right about that, incidentally, but not about the grade.

Also, as to the designation, BN: I understand why it is used on mint state and AU coins, but I have three or four coins with that designation from NGC in lower and mid circulated grades. (I will post pics later of several of my 7070 coins that I recently got back from NGC.) I mean, what other color would they be in VG? Perhaps in circulated coins it means VERY BN?

I missed my chance!

I thought it was MS64 BN. I could tell from the pics that it was NGC-graded also. This is because of the white foam that the coin rests in within the holder. It has a distinctive appearance in pictures.

Very beautiful old copper!
