    I tried my best to take pictures with what I have, I'm not the best photographer.


    Yes the coin is in a 2x2

    Your coin looks MS63ish to me . . . I like the look, with the original color and all, but because of how dark the toning is, I can't see other marks than on the untoned face, and can't tell if it will grade even lower.

    After shipping / grading / shipping back, I suspect you'd make more selling it raw. Many coins should not be professionally graded, but everyone seems so brainwashed into assuming it is the only way to buy or sell.

    Might be worth sending to Anacs for the (10) coins for $119 with free return shipping deal they have coming up.

    I agree with ToughCoins. Unless you think that '23 will grade '65 or better save your money........

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    It is nice, would get a premium for the toning, but I don't think it is worth the cost of slabbing.

    I guess I'm a minority because I'm not a big fan of toning. To me it doesn't look As good as a nice shiney coin. So is it just me or am I missing something?
