I agree. Looks 63 to me, too. I thought about cracking it out and resubmitting it at the FUN show, but that wasn't cost-effective. Even in 63...
I just got this coin reimaged by @messydesk at the 2026 FUN show. His pictures look a lot better than mine did. (Oops, the obverse and reverse...

Now it’s time for the Classic Head cent (1808-1814). I currently lack a decent example of this type. In fact, the nicest problem-free example...
@Randy Abercrombie - did John (@messydesk) shoot your prooflike 1877 half that I made the animated GIF of? [ATTACH]
