This coin did not get bagged by the graders. Sometimes they do not like coins like this. What do you think?
Guess the grade

I personally like the tone, and have a 1909 VDB with similar tone like the reverse, but I believe someone stated that it may have been treated with "Blue Ribbon"?
Looks like a MS65BN to me.

interesting that it has a fingerprint.
If the coin were red with a dark fingerprint would it still grade as high?
I'll guess 63BN due to prints on both sides and toning splotches. Other than that, it's well struck with no major hits. I know that there have been many threads on this color on copper and I've already gone on record stating that I am not a fan of the blue. Some are NT and the rest are AT, and I can't tell the difference.....

The graders here gave it an MS64 brown which I kinda agree with. A nice piece to say the least.

Blue color like that can be lab created which is why copper with that color gets rejected at times. I would have to see it in hand to offer an opinion on AT vs NT but the grade seems spot on from the surfaces.
