Hello,
I've not graded this coin but wanted to run it by you all to see what you think. I'm kinda new to all this and just wanted to share and learn. Pic is the best I could do for a rookie. Thanks in advance.

To CCF! It could grade at high AU or MS. Hard to tell with current photos, but it looks MS to me.

to the CCF

We can't see the surfaces well enough to offer a grade opinion. Could be AU or MS.

I'm thinking mid to high end AU. Good album hole filler until better comes along.

avoid overhead lights as they cause glare that obscures the surfaces making it difficult to see and marks or scuffs which there could be on the bottom of the coat and in the field in front of the forehead but I cant tell using this photo.

AU58 on grade.

based on your comment, it sounded like you may consider sending this in for grading. Many new collectors see all of the slabbed coins out there and think thats what you do with nice looking coins. since you are fairly new here, this is something to add to your knowledge base regarding sending a coin to grade.

there are really the only two reasons to slab a coin

1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved
2. you are planning on selling the coin and the cost of acquisition plus the grading fee's would warrant it without chewing up all your profit. I would not even consider it unless it was at least $200 or more due to the costs involved

if you are not familiar with grading here are the costs:

PCGS - Economy grading $23 valued up to $300.shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000). PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs.
1-coin $119 2-coins $72 3-coins $56 4-coins $44

NGC - economy grading tier is $25 (under $300) plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins) and insurance both ways.
1-coin $63 2-coins $44 3-coins $37 4-coins $34

ANACS - Economy - No Gold: $18 per item for items valued up to $500. plus $29 for shipping (1-4 coins) and insurance both ways.
1-coin $47 2-coins $32 3-coins $28 4-coins $25

CACG - economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins. Plus $99 subscription ($50 grading credit),
1-coin $139 2-coins $69 3-coins $46 4-coins $37
