Do me for UNC in the old money. Is there something going on at P in penny? I reckon a dip in your favorite bath would spruce it up. :)

I agree 63 or at worst 62 on colour I have seen some weird designations to be honest so a RB would be expected a BN wouldn't surprise me however. Nice coin trout regardless

personally, I wouldn't touch it
it's ok to mess around with lower grades but once they get around these grades, I leave them well alone

You're more than likely correct there RG. It's just that I see quite a few coppers in slabs that are stricken with the green death, probably an indication of their environment in a previous life, and an instant turn off for me as far as a possible purchase is concerned. I honestly think preservation is as important as concern for original surfaces. :)

This is NOT my coin I am merely getting it graded at PCGS for a Mate, I wish it was it is a beautiful example of this first issue.
As I have had the opportunity to view this coin "In Hand" I am calling this as MS64RB :ok:
