OK, here is one of my favorite coins. I think the dealer I bought it from didn't really want to sell. He offered me a lifetime buy-back privilege if I ever decide that I'd rather have the cash. I'll keep it in mind!  Anyone want to determine a grade? It's in a TPG slab.   |

Wow...beautiful coin! I don't know squat about grading these, but it must be at least MS63-64.

Mother nature sure did a nice job of cramming the entire rainbow this coin !  Wonderful strike characteristics, very few light marks and original  It sure deserves a MS64 |

Recently saw a slabbed 1834 of same and it was more BN on rev.and graded PCGS MS-64RB as I recall. I think it was a little better in the obv. fields. I don't collect this area, but I would be interested in the company and grade. I would expect the 63-65 range depending on the graders.

I'm going to guess MS63. The mark on the cheek keeps it from a 64 I think. The color and luster look wonderful, as do the near perfect stars and hair detail. Anyway, like I said, it's just a guess.

my first impression was atleast MS-63 but I am willing to bump that to 64 just because its so beautiful. Sure makes mine in my 7070 look pitiful

The grade is NGC MS-65 BN. The reverse has abundant bright RB color. However, the obverse has toned a deep bluish-brown shade and there is essentially no original red. Luster on this coin is exceptionally intense for an early copper, with full cartwheels on both sides.  |

Great example. Any guesses for the reason for the difference in color between obverse and reverse? Does this indicate it sat stored against a piece of cloth or something else that would oxidize one side more than the other?
