I would say AU 58, there is some minor wear on the edges, the color is wrong, so probably a details coins, but I think its really pretty. I would keep it :)

AU to me.

I agree that the colouring seems off, but still a very nice coin.

62/63 with NO concerns on color (personally not a fan of carbon spots tho) as Copper/Bronze can be extremely difficult to photograph accurately.

Very nice coin, VERY nice photos.

MS 61-62, the carbon spots detract, overall I would be happy with this coin.

Colour looks fine. Likely MS-62. If you're the viper on ebay where did you get all those 1859 varieties that went through in the last two months? Amazing!

Thanks every one for your opinions on this Cent! Though one for me to grade.

tamarin! Yes and a lot more to come. Sometime you have to thin out the herd. I had over 1200 at one time. Now I am only keeping the better ones and the scarcer ones and making room for something else.

Thanks

Assuming that coloring/light will change based off camera angle I wont comment on coloration. But I agree, at least AU58. Still a great find for an early year.
