When collecting all three major types of Indian Head cents, this one caught my eye with it's oddly beautiful "blueberry" toning. PCGS straight graded it--what grade would you give it?

Also, I think this is a somewhat scarcer variety (the repunched date Snow-7) that PCGS apparently does not attribute on the holder. It seems like a fit to me--do you agree that this is the repunched date Snow-7 variety?

As always, thanks for your time and input. As cool as RB and RD cents are, this coin's toning makes it "the coin" for the Bronze IHC type for me!

I'll say AU-53, perhaps 55.

I'd say AU-58, and agree it looks like a Snow-7.

I found this photo on the indianvarieties website pointing out the diagnostics of the Snow-7 RPD. Yours (on the bottom) looks like a good match.

Thanks, Zurie! Hopefully PCGS will include it as a variety some day. Thanks everyone for your opinions. I am not great at grading IHCs, I am learning. All three of my IHCs are of the same PCGS grade MS(63). If the Flying Eagle cent would be MS(63), then I would have a consecutive run of 6 MS(63) cents in my type collection, starting with Coronet/Braided Hair and ending in Lincoln (Wheat).
