  CuNi Cents can be very nice to look at, yours is no exception. MS64, if it obtained a straight grade,

  Here's your answer (the angle of this image completely suppresses color but I assure you that this is the same coin)!

  Sadly the TrueView barely captures the color as well as the coin's hues are substantially more vibrant in hand.

  JMHO, but everything about the early date IHC’s is superior to the later dates. Too bad the Mint changed. This coin is lovely and my initial impression was a higher grade.

  Interesting.
  I have a gem 1893 I bought favorably that has similar toning. It was in an old paper envelope, but I’ve been hesitant to submit it for fear of getting it back genuine with questionable toning. Maybe I’ll take a shot!
