    Is this a scan? It seems to lack any luster.

    Hard to determine how much luster there is with the scans. The reverse looks well struck and virtually mark free except for a hit on the first tower. The obverse has a few scratches and hits that I think would take away from a higher grade, though the scan can throw off the true nature of what's going on with what I'm seeing. May look more subtle in hand. The spot on "Yogi's back leg is distracting, but then again, maybe less so in hand. I'd hazard an MS-62.......

    Yeah the scan does take away from the luster. I guess it's worth getting graded. Thanks for the help!

    This coin appears to have some rub and I suspect it's spent some time in the hands (literally) of non-collectors. To me it grades AU58, possibly cleaned. The good news is that there isn't a whole lot of difference between the price of an AU58 coin and an uncirculated coin in grades all the way up to MS64. If problem-free, your coin will likely be worth a bit over $100, but if it's cleaned that could drop the value by a third or so.

    I cannot tell entirely from the pics, but it looks AU at least on the obverse.
