I took the best pictures I could so that I could receive some accurate opinions. I used two different light sources with these pictures one showing more original color and the other that shows better detail. I'm thinking this coin grades MS-63 and I would like to see many people agree with me  I hope the pictures do it justice and please tell me what you think the grade is. Light 1 More Original Color:   Light 2 More Detail:   |

I can't distinguish whether it's a weak strike or wear, but the lower hair curl is very flat and a couple other areas so I'm leaning towards high AU. Just my opinion.

AU-55 Brown. Wear on the lower curl and above the ear. Wear on the first feather. Wear on the ribbon and first leaf to the left on the reverse. Nice coin don't get me wrong but still AU.

4 diamonds, MS-62 at least, can never tell through plastic.

Four diamonds doesn't mean it's MS.

It doesn't mean it's AU either.

IMO this coin has a weak strike and I truly believe it is MS
Edit: What I know for sure is it's RB not brown

Hard to see through plastic, but I am in the MS-62 camp.

In my opinion the coin is AU. The ribbon and lower leaves are the high points on the die. When struck these areas require less strike force to fully detail. On a weak strike I would expect to see the more recessed areas to exhibit less detail which is not the case here. Strong AU58

Whether the coin is AU or MS I think it has great eye appeal and I'm happy to have it in my collection. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and comments.
