I don't see any wear on this coin but I also don't see much luster. That could be due to lighting, but pictures that show the coin's luster better would be helpful. Well struck obverse, but a little weakness in the reverse shield. In terms of color it looks RB. MS63 if the luster is all there and uninterrupted. Without it, AU55.

Isn't that lighter area on the face considered wear?

AU58. For me the key for these coins is the curl of hair on the cheek on the obverse and the ribbon around the arrows on the reverse. I am seeing very light wear on the highest points of the hair and ribbon, especially the upper loop of the ribbon. Also it looks like there may be a spot of corrosion just under the arrows, though it could just be dirt/dust.

Rest in Peace

Nice sharp coin , I'm at AU-58+ Eye Appeal Is right up there . Take care of that reverse corrosion spot by bow before it gets any worse

I see no wear at all - everything is razor sharp. Unsure of color, but I'll say 65BN to be conservative.

I agree with Coinfrog. just a very slightly weak strike keeping it from a higher grade. I think there is more than 5% red on both side so MS65RB

Got to agree with Frog and panzaldi. I see no wear on the high points and virtually no marks of any kind. MS-65RB

65RB to me, but I'm not convinced the color is natural.

To me it looks as good or better as any MS63RB that I've seen.

how's the luster if you have it in hand? I didn't think it was gem for a few reasons...
