WOW! That is one sweet coin! I have no experience in grading these, so I will just say somewhere mid- MS range. At least worth $6000, but wait until someone else can give you advice.

Nice one!

What makes this such a valuable coin? Is it a particular variety or mint? Krause isn't very helpful it just lists one fairly standard variety for this date.

Thanks

Sure get it graded. Thats the way to go for top dollar. If you sell on ebay with auction chances are highly likely you wont get what you expect.

You can try making a good deal with buy it now but it will take a while but you never know.... If you are not in a hurry I would suggest that. But be careful only mail to paypal registered address and no matter where the guys are from....
The safest way is to have the money bank wired... Cause someone can initiate a charge back if they paid by credit card

PCGS is more conservative than NGC.

I cant really say what grade it is need better pictures for that.

Luster does a lot in grading. Luster seems good but not a stunner.

I would say in between AU55 - and Max MS62 Maybe

For value its hard to say you can get probably a good price if it grades above MS60 maybe over 4000.

The rarer the coin the closer you can get to catalog value....

If it reaches AU55-MS60 then I would say under catalog. Unless you find that guy who REALLY wants it

That is a seriously nice coin. I'd be happy to help you sell it if it is still available, I've got a few very high end Indian buyers.
