    Ok, it is raw, and the glare on the reverse under the right wing and in CA in AMERICA is from the scan.

    Just wanted your opinions, And yes I do own it, lol.

    My guess: MS-64, Natural Toning.

    A better photograph is needed.

    A better photograph is needed. Look at the weakly struck areas around the ear and the eagle’s breast & wings. Do you see evidence of the original planchet there or does it appear to be rubbed? There is a different color on all these high points & also on Liberty's face making me think AU. A better photograph is needed.

    Very best regards,

    That said, I have to agree with the others.

    Or: Take it out of that stupid holder and take a better picture.

    Well Anthony i do like you too ,but it's kind of hard to grade in the thing for some reason, but here it goes. I would say an AU 55 ,and I don't know what kind of toning that is ,weird looking maybe the pic.

    I don't think you will hear me say this very often: dip that coin immediately!

    Sorry, Anthony.

    AU-53, likely old cleaning.

    I will give you the possibility that the pictures just don't show the toning properly. In hand, that could be nice toning. But, from what I can see, it doesn't look good.

    It's AU-55 with all the eye appeal of a 1978 AMC Pacer.

    I disagree. I would not dip a coin ever. I've heard that the better solution is Worcestershire sauce, if you must ruin your coin.

    I prefer my Worcestershire sauce on steak, not coins!

    I wouldn't know, I'm a vegetarian. Anyway according to the 1964 edition of "A GUIDE TO THE GRADING OF UNITED STATES COINS" it states in appendix A in a section called "if you must clean your coins", "an extremely fine or uncirculated silver or nickel coin which has formed a black crust or is unattractively toned can be cleaned effectively by soaking the coin in Worcestershire sauce for about 10 minutes". Just a suggestion.
