Just got this one yesterday and after finally figuring out how to manage the ISO settings camera I was able to take these two pictures. Would this qualify a a red,red/brown, brown cent and what grade would you give it?
The last 2 pictures were taken prior to the figuring of the ISO settings on my camera and on the reverse you can see the two scratches that are barely visible, if looking for them. I didn't see them till I snapped the pics so they are real minute.

64RED. Scratch takes it out of 65 territory. It might even 63 because of it.

Bad, the color on the shoulder probably deep it out of red. Still, nice call on a beautiful coin.

64RED...I think the scratch on the reverse top will take it out of 65.

no, the scratch was on the coin not the holder and it made 65. I think they missed it, maybe? I didn't see when I got the coin, only saw it after photographing it.
