    Interesting coloring given the coin.

    Color is somewhat brown from the image. Whats it look like in hand? Does the die polish in the arrow head apply on these like the 2.5 Indian?

    I'd guess it's an AU coin...the color is probably from handling...but that's just a guess?? Is it AU or MS??

    This series is the most difficult to grade from a scan in my opinion.

    But I LOVE the color!

    The color probably comes from the copper content. My sig has a $2.5 with a similar look....

    Assuming the picture is accurate the coin is at best AU....but it's difficult to tell really.
