Any ideas on this grade?

Hard to tell for sure from the pictures, but the obverse looks cleaned.

Oh, and it's a rev. of 79.

Has an un-natural look to it.

AU Slider/Low BU dipped/cleaned to give it the appearance of a higher grade. If you look at the surface under a loupe or scope you'll see
the luster has been played with.

Edited to add: Yes, that's the reverse of 1879.

i agree with what the others have posted on it. something just looks off, it doesn't seem to have any luster, and it should. probably cleaned.

The surfaces look dead, as if the luster has been cleaned and/or dipped out of it. Which is too bad; it looked like it could have been a great coin with unimpaired luster.

From the standpoint of lack of bag marks and strike, it looks like a 65 easy.....BUT in your image, that's one odd colored coin with dead luster. The fields looks as if they have been polished, or it's maybe it's PL or as others have said, it's had the dickens dipped out of it!
The reverse is as others have said, the rev of '79.
Does the image look like the coin in the hand?

I haven't seen many, I had a second thought, could it be an impaired proof coin?
Just a thought?

No. Rims aren't square and it doesn't have the VAM 215 die marker. If it did, this would be the "Suck of the Century™."

No. Besides the VAM-215 die markers there are other reverse markers. None are present in the photo.
