Your photos aren't so bad IMO. I have a scope on the way too.
I wouldn't bother sending it for grading either. You could ask a local dealer what they think.
I adore Canadian coins. I have quite the collection, although they are not technically spendable in the States. One slipped into my purchase a while back and the clerk said "oh no, we can't take THAT! She acted like the coin would hurt her if she took it. Very comical!
Welcome aboard!
