Your thoughts are appreciated. I'm bad at photographing copper, sorry. The luster is more prominent in hand than in the pictures.

I would say high AU at the least, possibly MS. I am not familiar enough with the coin to make that call.

Looks to have underlying luster.

Heavy toning (patina), makes it difficult to pick small nicks and scratches, as well as whatever wear there is on the high points.

I agree with spruett001.

Easier to grade; it's not imprisoned in a slab!
I don't have to vs a third party grader.

It's in a 2x2, not a slab. Although photos are ALWAYS better out of any holder.

Uninterrupted field luster and lack of high point rub indicates mint state.

Technical Grade 63. Eye Appeal 6/10.

Sorry guys. Those pictures are actually darker than I realized. These are better, I think.
