I'll say MS-63BN, just a stab.

Crazy looking coin, I like it! I think it's seen a little circulation but these are also known for mushy strikes.

Nice coin! I'd give it a 63 R&B based on the pics!

Yes crazy coin , I'm going with weak reverse strike and not wear . I'm assuming it's not a woody . MS-63BN  |

It's definitely a woody. Very nice purple tone throughout but hard to capture. I would hope it would have enough red to go RB. Thanks for the comments guys!

Yes, another cool woody derivative. I like it. Nice toning too. I could see AU58 with this one.

AU vs MS with this much toning is very challenging using photos. AU58 or MS62. mushy reverse. I lean MS side

Closely inspect the wheat lines, the right reverse stalk is notorious for being weak on these due to non-parallel dies. However, the lines on the left stalk appear worn and slightly flattened.

Can't tell a lot from the photos, so I'd say between au58 and ms64, pixelation makes it hard to judge. Appears to be a nice coin though
