Working on grading with little experience with copper. Current choice for grading this is AU-58 to MS-60. Am I in the Ballpark? If so thanks to Jim MacKenzie for his work.

If it didn't have the scratches behind the head I'd go MS but it holds it back AU58

High AU for sure. Not even sure those scratches hold it back from MS. Very nice.

Contact marks from other coins won't hold a coin back from MS if it is actually uncirculated and they aren't some weird PMD. The lowest grade they will give it is MS60, unless they net grade it for some other flaw (harsh cleaning) like they do sometimes at ICCS. Looking baggy isn't considered an MS flaw by any of the 3rd party grading companies other than to bring the numerical grade down closer to 60. I'd call this one MS63BN.

Some rub on the high points, AU-58.
