Second photo from PCGS website grade ms-67+

Couple things to consider. The PCGS coin may be toned ( can't tell) My coin is original copper color but extremely lustrous. Both sets of photos are highly magnified and I am shooting for a 67 67+ would be out of the question. Should I save my money or maybe a shot?

Shoulder looks a bit rough in first pic. I'll say MS-66+RD.

the photos on this one are playing with my brain. the first obv photo has too much light and the second a little too much contrast. in the first one I'm not seeing the flaws that the second one is showing me. that being said which shots are more like the coin in hand? I'm going with the second one for now

the problems areas I'm noting here are in key areas of this coin and the highest points on the obv. the coin was most likely in contact with another on top of it causing the abrasions we see. I cant get this higher than 66RD using these photos.

Analyzing this with the eye of someone looking for an MS67RD:

With the light marks on the bust/cheek and between O and N in ONE CENT, the hit on the T in CENT, and a couple of light scattered hairlines in the fields I'd be at MS64RD tops

The PCGS coin is overgraded, there is noticeable rub on the obverse (see above), a hit in front of the hair and a hit below CENT

First one is a nicer coin. MS-66RD. The PCGS coin I can't see any higher than MS-65RD.
