    Going on those videos alone I would say it is a BN with excellent luster. Assuming there are no hidden problems I'd guess MS65BN. If it's docked a bit for the spotting in the fields then MS64BN.

    Looks 65BN... seems to have luster... Not sure of color - could be lighting/angles.. Full still image posted here would likely provide better input. Cheers, RickO

    It looks great from where I sit. Did you treat that coin with anything? I've seen brown Lincoln cents treated with Verdi-Care that gives the coin a shiny sheen look like yours.

    I bought it on eBay for $41 but it was in an old PVC flip. It got the usual acetone soak/swirl with Q-tip roll to remove the gunk. The coin went in very dull with a hazy look to it. What came out was this.

    This color seems to be the usual result of PVC/acetone/copper. If I could, I’d use something other than acetone that doesn’t have this reaction but I’m not well versed enough in this subject.
