I would like to hear some thoughts on where this cent could grade. The flip had AU55 on it. Thanks!

Some of the details look a little weak due to strike. Comparing this coin to PCGS photograde, I have it at AU-50 mainly because of the flatness to the central cheek area and just above the eye.

AU-53 but because of original surfaces, mellow leather colored patina and just down right eye appeal an AU-55 is in order. Just a common Indian cent in an uncommon original condition, love it.

At first glance I was thinking Snow-4. I might give it a bath to get a better look in the denticles.

Nice MPD!

Put me down for AU50. AU53 if you'd like.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
