My vote was XF45. I decided to look for this coin and found some references, but I had already cast my vote.

 

This was an interesting example. Thank you for sharing! It’s nice to see that I wasn’t the only person who thought this piece was uncirculated. Please let us know how the coin looks in hand.

 

I'd already put my vote in as well, AU58, and I thought I was being reasonably generous, allowing for lack of planchet material. I'd never have picked MS62 from the lack of detail I felt was there.

I compared this to PCGS Massachusetts Pine Tree Silver on Photograde, since it is a contemporary of the Besancon, but NGC seems to be more generous in their grading.

I found the coin AFTER my guess, and just hinted at finding it in the post with an edit. Would love to see it in hand to see what gave it such a high grade,
