I'm thinking probably too toned to get red designation?

provided glare is not hiding anything, hard to see why this would not be MS-67, is its true color yellowish?

Too much glare to see surface details and color clearly.

Sorry for the offensive pics. I used the seller's pics because they are better than I can provide. The coin is more of an orangy-brown.

Yes, FS-1102 -- I do varieties.

The nature of the lighting used in the photography determines the color/tint of what we're seeing.

IMO there are too many rubs to make it MS.
It appears to be a slider so AU-58 at best.
And I'm thinking 55.

I thought the 0 looked funny, maybe the ddo-#2... It is! RB with more red looking. Slider 58 to me as well.

The light is cutting through the patina, we're not seeing the true coin. That said, looks to relatively mark free. Appears to have light rub on the lapel, hair, cheek and jaw. (Toning?) However, the reverse wheat lines and grains appear to be mint state. The rims look to be pretty free of marks, leans me to MS.

63

its really impossible to accurately grade this coin with this amount of glare. AU58 or MS63. I think badthad called it so I'm at MS63 also. as for color. no guess whatsoever.
Rest in Peace

There does seem to be some rub on the obverse high spots . AU-58 . Just from your photos red or brown is a toss up .
