Bought this beauty today. Krause says $65 - I don't care if it's not worth quite that much, because I paid $1

I know it's UNC and probably BU, but I'd like a Sheldon grade anyway because Canadians are more receptive to numbers if I sell it locally (if I can bear to sell it).

(So shiny )
I think it could easily grade an MS-65.

Excellent

Does ICCS grade coins on-site at shows? Without shipping I might consider $15 to certify this one for kicks.

Pretty nice strike. Good luster. The bag mark on his hair and smaller marks other places prevent it from being 65 in my opinion. I would guess it being 64.

In hand, I agree on MS-64 - it was in a loose bin of other 2-mark coins and was in a tightly packaged but loose bag with my other buys until I put it into my wallet.

It's still BU, though :) I might consider eBaying it to make some fast money, but it is really a lovely coin and I like topical coins involving physics and physicists (also on my list is the Otto Hahn 5-mark commemorative).
