60 or 61. Pretty chewed up and ugly IMO.

 

The reverse is pretty nice. The obverse.... well, I can't see any reason to pay for any more grading events. It has an outside shot at PL 61/62, but even then it's a very common coin in that condition. The most likely result of a trip to NGC or PCGS is a coin with a market value in the $50 range.

 

Thanks JT. I am a amateur photographer trying to learn coin photography. I appreciate when a professional shares knowledge and provides feedback and guidance.
Your comment about exposure gave me a confidence boost as I thought the same while reviewing the OP's pictures.
To correct exposure in this case would you;
Increase shutter speed? (my choice) or
Decrease aperture?

 

Though call for me. (I am a poor market grader)
The numerous hits on the obverse and reverse are obvious grade killers, but the frost on the well struck devices really save this poor lady. Add in the eye appeal from the toning = MS 62.
I understand the heat you felt from your bill roll. A gorgeous coin that came from the tough side of town.

 

Thanks for sharing your grading methodology. Your comments on spotting due to poor dip rinsing are thought provoking. The rinse process I learned (on this forum) was to flush the coin surfaces with clean acetone then stand the coin on its edge on a soft cloth. Some others (this is were the postings got heated) suggest flushing (after the chemical dip) with distilled water. Where do you think the process went wrong in this case?

 

I found this though a google search. The link to ANCS isn't working but the scale provided may be helpful. A nice coin PL or not.

 

I have appreciated all your thoughts, Opinions and marketable opinions. It will have Photos attached, if, and when I crack this slab.
