It's always iffy with toned copper. Grading has become a little more conservative lately, but I think it has a chance. It might receive QC, but it could also receive a good grade.

Not my series, but I could see this in a 63/64 RB holder if it does not get a genuine details for the color. I like it.
It is a very strong strike - the coin shows excellent details.
You just can't predict grading these days but I would say easily a 64. The only things I see that could hold it back from full gem status (65) would be the possible QC as Robec and Tennessee Dave pointed out and the little spotting to the right of the portrait. OTOH, I've seen PCGS grant 66 grades on spotted coins, so that's why I'm pretty in the dark when it comes to predicting grades.
Bottom line? Nice coin! Certainly worth sending in...absolutely.
Looks a bit like dipped and retoned....Hopefully a good price.
Well, just Love coins, period.
66+ level details and strike held back to 64 for the luster, however I expect you will get a QC no grade based on how it looks on my screen.

That cent looks 64 per the pictures... I think it will straight grade.....Send it in and let us know what it grades. Cheers, RickO
Nice coin with a lot of striking detail as has been said.
The big TPG's don't always like to see color on the rims like this.
Hope she straight grades for you if you send her in.
I’ll say 65 which means probably means 64. Lately my wheaties came back one grade less than I estimated. Just sent four more so I’ll see how these do.

The coin will have to be viewed in-hand. That's when the determination as to whether it has been dipped and retoned will be made.
Questionable color.

I like raw coins no matter the grade.
If the coin looks in hand as it does in the picture, it will not straight grade.
I forgot to mention ….nice image JT!
The color looks questionable. Otherwise it would have a shot at MS64RB.
