    Can anyone help give me an idea of the grade and value of this one?

    I'm fairly confident that its not PR-69 or higher, but proofs are nearly impossible to grade from photos.

    Value = $1.00-$2.50

    Edit:

    I missed that it's a Close AM.

    Value = $150+

    A PR65RD DCAM example sold on eBay recently for $144.

    Thanks.

    As you can see the coin has multiple small likes and marks on the obverse and fogging on the reverse.
    I am far from an expert on grading proof coins or even MS coins but this seems to put it far below PR65. I have no experience with modern proofs this low but I’m guessing no higher then PR63 and probably not even that. Does this seem like a good conclusion from what you can see from the picture?

    Probably not at this time. If I ever decide to sell it I might but for now I’ve put it in an air tite.

    It’s a nice close AM and it’s a proof but it’s not a 65 grade.

    I wasn't sure if the lines on the obverse were scratches or reflections. Since they are, It's probably lower than PR-65 and thus, the value is also lower.

    If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it?

    Thanks.
    A few years back I bought some random proof cents and it was in with them. Didn't discover what it was until later.
