I'm at work, not home, and am hoping these pics will do the job... if not, I'll have to try and do better at home. It's been graded by ICCS (I hate photographing through their flips) and am curious as to what you think. I've been picking up a few US graded coins by ICCS lately. The dark spots aren't on the coin... don't know what happened there.

It's quite dark, but not as dark as the pics. It seems to pick up the reflection of my red camera too.

It appears there is a bit of luster around the stars which I think suggests a likely range of grades from choice EF to AU. Other than that I can't really pinpoint the grade much more. I think there is some green stuff in and around the denticles, stars, and wreath that might be verdigris or PVC.

I'm sorry but when it comes to US coins, I stick to NGC, PCGS or ANACs

EF45 I do see a bunch of detris in the rims, it looks green and a lot like PVC damage, I'd get this coin out of any holder and into a tub of acetone for a soak ASAP!

I have never seen a US coin in an ICCS holder. I am guessing they are just as bad with US coins as the Canadians think PCGS and NGC is with Canadian coins

ICCS has it at AU50

I'll try to learn to photograph their flips better and put up some of the others I have... the rest are pretty much all MS coins... Washington quarters and a walker... don't recall what else there is.
