Given the angle of the lighting (and the glare off the coin), I'll venture MS64. New photos could change that. Is nice, indeed.

The almost vertical lines on the coat and under the chin concern me.
Makes me think "cleaned".
And it's definitely not RD.
Not even RB.
It's a BN.

BN? How so?
I think it has too much luster to be BN.

MS63 possibly 64. due to lighting its difficult to give a color. its either RB or RD. I'm seeing too much red for a BN. RD needs 95% red on both sides. if you twisted my arm and dont have better photos I'm leaning RB

MS64RB - I think the DDR look is just from the lighting on the left side.  EDIT: Maybe loses a point for eye appeal Edited by Rothery

I'm in with the "cleaned"crowd. Details just not sharp enough for me for MS anything. High features seem blunted, details around the right eye are not impressive, and the lines in the wheat don't seem parallel enough for me to be MS. I am leaning towards UNC details at best. Hey, that's just me...
Stay well,

It is for sure a proof...I cracked it out, and the die markers match.

Maybe the low light angle is making the color show that way, wanted to capture the die markers. These might help.    |
