    The bluish tinted areas are only seen when a very bright light hits it (like a camera flash), but not really visible under normal lighting, if that matters.

    MS-62, that scratch hurts it a lot

    It's not visible in hand, even under 10x it's barely noticeable. I think the light caught it just right in the first set of pics, so here's under diffused LED.

    I'll guess MS62-63. Nice coin.

    oh, that makes a big difference. I'd change my answer to 64

    MS-63. You can’t ignore the big mark by the bell tower on the reverse.

    If the color really is as funky as it seems in the photo, it might go down to MS-62.

    63 or pushing it, 64
    (Large bell tower gouge)
    Otherwise, nice strike

    I'd venture to give it a 65, but the damage to the H and L in HALF would probably knock it down. How much? I don't know.

    I said MS62 earlier due to the scratch on the obverse and the dings on the reverse to the right of the belfry. There are a lot of little dings in the belfry as well, but what is bugging me is the weakness of the musket, the dings on the date, and overall die state of the reverse. I suppose this could go MD63, but something feels AU58+ about it.

    Conflicted I am. Beautiful coin overall, especially the blue. I would own it.
