Wow! The toning on that coin is magnificent! The coin itself is beautiful even if it didn't have the toning. I love it! Congratulations, I would be happy with that purchase.

@John1, I have decided to send it in for grading soon and I was wondering which issues you saw it has, or if you saw something I missed that would keep it from straight grading. Thanks in advance!

that's a beauty! sharp! color me slightly jealous. that toning is gorgeous. the doubling is really neat, too. i'd be happy with that in my collection.
edit, 4am:
i keep looking at that die crack through the upper half of the lettering UNITED STATES. it looks like the letters are broken, the way the light reflects off the surfaces of those letters, like the A, T, E & S. it's subtle, but noticeable. the die looks weakest at the E & S, the S looks shattered. that's so cool.

Thankyou! @MrPink2018 @macmercury I appreciate it! This is one of my favorite ones for sure. I have looked at it so many times because I love it and for any kind of reason not to send it in and I cannot find a reason, hence why I asked John1 what he was seeing. The only reason I never sent it in was because I was afraid it would not make it to the destination or back to me with how sketchy sending things became the last several years. But I really want it in a holder! Thankyou all for checking it out!

Perhaps if you can attend a large coin show for a walk in submission to PCGS or NGC (Your choice), you maybe able to pick it up for next day service, although its expensive, but for this one it would be justifiable.

Thanks @macmercury, I have been looking into that but nothing very close to me in N Georgia. Going to keep checking though. Maybe one day one will be close enough! Maybe Atlanta at some point will host one.
