Would this coin still grade higher with the areas around the date and in "states"? (picture is not mine)

however, just looking at this, it appears to be recolored. those surfaces are not normal for a higher grade indian

I don't have the coin so there is no getting another picture. Thanks panzaldi. That was the info I was looking for. Coin is at a price point that if it won't grade AU then its not worth it.

photos can be deceptive seeker and may not be showing the surfaces properly. the color just doesn't look right here and the mottling around the date is also a clue that it was rubbed off in that area. there is also a stain on the surface at K12.

barring that, making AU is iffy. the ribbon looks completely void of any definition and the edges have no separation from the curl however, this could be strike related as the headband is fully defined. it has a shot at AU. without a rev photo you have no idea what you are getting into.

Better photos might confirm this is an AU coin. The head band and feathers long very strong. Lighting is hiding where the diamonds are located.
