That is AWESOME !
62 BN
Au details
Light cleaning maybe?
The lighting reflection is throwing me off, so if it isn’t Details/Cleaned/ Polished, I’ll say AU55 CAC.
If it straight grades I'll guess MS63, possibly RB

AU Details - Altered Surfaces
Counterfeit?

Something with the color and sheen in the picture that doesn't look normal to me. If it doesn't details, I'm in the AU55 group.
Awesome coin. I would love to know the story on how you came upon it . Good luck on your submission!
Questionable color AU details.
Au details, looks cleaned
Curious what you see!
Cleaned Unc. Details

If you load the image into Google you’ll find that they agree with TomB’s concern. They cite mushy details and suspicious surface texture/color among other things. They also mentioned that there are surprisingly similar examples available on the internet.
Edited to add: if you submit only the reverse to Google, it does not identify it as suspicious. So Google’s opinion, maybe an extra extrapolation based on the number of fakes out there. Still to me the surface texture does look odd.
62-63RB if it grades. The sheen looks odd so they may call it cleaned/burnished.
Collector, occasional seller
Looks cleaned and smoothed over
It appears to be genuine from the photo, would need a close up of the rev around the T in cent to confirm. But as others have noted the color and glossy surfaces look off, AU details QT/Alt surfaces is my guess.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I was going to give it a good grade before I saw what far sharper and more experienced dealers and collectors had to say. It looks like someone ruined a good coin.
I’ve submitted a few of them and have to agree with those who say cleaned. I’ve yet to get a straight grade out of any I’ve submitted
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.
BU Cleaned. Too glossy.
