Nice RP in the "T"...and maybe a little lack of full luster in the fields..or soft strike or hair rub or a bit of detail missing to the hair to the left of the ear..
..but I'll throw an MS 62 in here. It is a beauty..and perfect photography again..
I'm never sure what the true colour is on your cents..because they always have a lot of light in them..
Do we say RD for this one or RB..?
viper..What do "you" call this one ?

Goldnugget, are you talking about the reverse? Those are die cracks. They were in the die when the coin was struck.
I think the coin is in mint state. I believe the areas in Victoria's hair were weakly struck. Victoria's eyebrow doesn't show any wear at all.

I'll go 58-60. I agree with Devlec, in that the wear of the hair in front of and below the ear, the earlobe itself, and the hair in the bun show wear rather than weakly struck. However, I see no wear at all on the reverse leaf lobes. Tough call, but beautiful coin and I agree that it's brown.

That small rub area I think will keep it at MS-62. Over all a very nice coin and the RP-T is great.

Split grade coin, nicely photographed.
AU55 obv, slight but obvious wear around the ear.
MS60 rev. no obvious wear to be seen, but there may be some due to what is found on the obverse, it is just that I can't see any.

I would say Au-55, nice clean fields, but a bit of wear on the hair above the ear.
Beautiful coin!
