I'm thinking more like AU-50.

Common date. Uncommon grade. Nice AU53.

Agree AU-50, perhaps 53. Most attractive.

Thanks so much for your opinions so far! I think I posted this in the incorrect place--can someone with the power to do so move this to the US classic and colonial grading forum?

Nice S-242. I am almost certain that it is straight graded. Cleaned, with a poor recolor job. My TPG grade is XF-40. My EAC grade is F-15. Edited by Coins4Eli

I don't see any evidence of recoloring. Old cleaning? Maybe. The reverse is a bit blotchy. Obverse looks like it should given the apparent sharpness.
If this was in an envelope in my collection it's a net 35 EAC. I would have no problem with owning (or selling) it.

Hmmm
I think AU 55 but I wonder if pcgs questioned the authenticity of the color because of the roughness of the obverse in the area between the chin and rim. Almost looks like it may of had environmental damage and was toned over it. I'm far from an expert though.

I thank you all for sharing your opinions--it amazes me how early American copper can lead to such a wide variety of opinions and assessments. I love all of my EAC coins, including their flaws (like the little spots on my uncleaned 1794 Half Cent and the blue patch on my 1839 "booby head" cent), and the evaluations of their features (both positive and negative) richly characterize those coins, giving them a sort of "identity" or "personality." As I continue to amass more for my US type set (I certainly see more and more factors that help construct a coin's identity in the marketplace. Less than one day left before I reveal the PCGS grade on this coin :). The color looks better in person than it did in my photos. The lighting in this photo was weird, under a lamp on a nightstand. Four weeks ago I was shooting ancient Nabatean tombs in a Saudi Arabian desert, capturing subtle hues of gold, orange, tan, red, and even some purples in the stone in varying intensities of sunlight. Apparently I am much better at capturing landscapes and buildings than I am little metal discs esconsed in plastic slabs. Edited by Adam590
