    I agree with @furryfrog02 . You should send it in and have it graded. It's hard to grade coins behind those plastic lenses.

    I’m no fan of TPGs but this may be worth the $$.
    Hold off on sending it though, for now.

    Do you plan on selling or holding in your collection? If planning on selling, MS63's are selling from $13 up and my opinion, no grading due to costs involved. If the latter, you have to decide whether grading and slabbing is worth it.
    Just my opinion.

    Where are you seeing $13? PCGS lists this in 63 at $350.

    Even if her coin grades MS63, it is the attribution of the FS-801 that is the money maker. At MS63 and the correct attribution that is a $350 coin.

    It very well could be but don't send it in for grading now. The graders are closed due to the virus. Welcome to CT.

    Welcome to CT @P Diane. What a great looking coin and neat find. Your photos are excellent. Thanks for posting. As for DDR, these old eyes can't see it, even on the PCGS coin, so I can't comment. Good luck with it.
