    Anywhere from PR60 to PR70

    I can narrow that range if you provide pics sufficient for more accurate grading ;)

    It won't grade as low as 60 or as high as 70 - probably somewhere between 64 and 68 if it isn't damaged. I don't see any cameo. But better pics are needed, and even then, grading from images is a crapshoot.

    Given the fact that it would likely get PR-67 or PR-68, it wouldn't be worth the cost of grading. Why do you want to get it graded?

    If it goes 67 it'll be about a $30 coin, so not worth grading in my opinion. A 68 would be worth more obviously, but you've got to have a keen, experienced eye to tell the difference between the two points. There is no cameo contrast on this coin, which is what most collectors want from 64 proofs. I say leave it raw.

    Please, Save your money since it's obvious you have no clue what you are doing.

    Instead, take the costs associated with having the coin graded and just buy one already graded. IMO, that will save you money AND allow you to meet your goal.

    alot of it is cause I'm just curious to see what this coin will grade. that's the fun sending in and seeing the result I think it might be PF67 or PF68

    Lee is right: just buy yourself a graded coin - much cheaper that way. I collected a couple dozen slabbed Kennedys, and studied them carefully, to learn how PCGS grades them. That would be your first step if you want to develop the skills to spot the difference between likely candidates for submission, and coins you'd just be wasting your money on.

    If you get it graded add Details you never know what Ngc or Pcgs will find.
