Looks like Ms-68 is the highest known of this year so far. Could this coin grAde at a 68 or 69. If only 67 Or less not sure if would be worth cost forcgrading? Thoughts:Opinions:Facts please /

When you're talking about grades that high we need:
-- screen-size images
-- sharp focus
Rest in Peace

Don't worry, it takes a long time for all collectors to gain experience with grading. Keep examining as many coins as possible (preferably in hand but online certainly helps, such as through this forum) and use PCGS Photograde to improve your skills. It's best to really familiarize yourself with the series that you collect.

I used the photo optimizer to see if that helps see coin details better.

It looks like this Abe saw a touch of circulation before going into hibernation. AU-58.
