I'd find a coin dealer if it was me, they buy scrap gold (jewelry etc) as well. But keep in mind that with jewelry the purity is usually rather...
Howdy jmanson9 - Welcome to the Forum !!
Pics are pretty small so it's hard to say for sure, but I'd guess VF35 - XF40.
Coin looks MS to me, I'm gonna guess they gave it a 63. No, I would not submit for regrading. If your desire is to sell the coin, list it as...
It's not a question of being in the know - I just read a lot. But to answer your question - yes. The law that authorizes the coins states if...

What he said ;)
Just about all of the Proof Jeffs from '61 thru '64 are known for this type of toning. It happened less often from '68 through the early '70s, but...
No - it is not.
