I dont think you would have any trouble getting that into a MS slab. Would be nicer if it was full red but other than that I dont see any damage to high points, no scratches in the fields and very nice rims.

Unless you expect it to be MS63 or better, it is not advisable to have it graded, considering the cost of grading..
even if you ship 100+, it will still cost at least $8, or perhaps more.
you might just want to enjoy it the way it is.
Just my humble opinion...

I wasn't planning on having the coin graded. Just looking for grade opinions.

It looks like a solid MS-63 to me.

MS-62 Trace Red...I'm guessing that's the type of grade you'd get from ICCS.

I just received the coin today, and couldn't be happier. The coin looks great.

I will post some pictures later today, or tomorrow.
