Based off the obverse only I would say 64 or 65 - if no breaks in luster. The cheek is very clean, but luster appears around the outer devices on the coin. The only concern is the lower hair - blurry and could be slight wear. Just my opinion.

 

it looks like you cut the picture from a book and posted it ?! (No offense) better post with a good back ground,also post the reverse

 

It's not my coin this is the picture that the seller has posted i just got rid of the background stuff and only showed the coin... If that were to be a wear spot on the curl then even with the luster and detail of the coin would it be considered an AU... If u guys think it could be an MS i will most likely pick it up. Here is the obverse...

 

Whats that all over the bottom? Dust?
If so, 64.

 

I am no expert on Indians, but I see nothing to keep that from a 65, IMO.

 

I'm not sure about the high points on this cent, obverse and reverse. But my gut says MS-65, I hope its not a brilliant AU-58...

 

imo, it's 64. and i agree with mark about the lower hair... a bit blurry.

 

thanks for your input guys, i'll bid and see what happens..

 

The good news - lots of luster, nice color. Gotta love it.
The bad news - since some detail is missing, either it's a soft strike or it's a slider AU. I'm inclined to believe it's UNC with a soft strike.

Overall, I like what I'm seeing.

BEFORE bidding, maybe you should ask the seller a question - "Is it softly struck ? Does it show any wear ?"

 

Thanks for the advice 900 fine but i was outbid on it, in a way it is o.k. because now i have a few extra bucks to spend at the coin club this Sunday...
