Hello Folks, I am trying to determine if its worth sending this coin into ICCS for grading. I would like to get opinion on grade. Looks like FWL to me so hard to get a non glare photo! Thanks Please help!     |

Looks like a nice, high-grade coin, but the luster looks too high and somewhat impaired. The coin may be polished.
Better pics would help. Otherwise, if it's problem-free then it'd definitely be worth sending in.

Hard to tell from the glare in your pics. From what I can see it looks to be around MS63 IMO. I don't think it's been polished but may have been dipped at sometime. Nice dollar.  |

Looks dipped to me too, better photos with less light would help.

Hard to tell. Possibly a PL coin. Either that or polished.

IMO MS63, not worth slabbing a $40 coin.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I am a horrible photographer and the glare doesn't help. The coin surface does not look manipulated. I will try with a different camera because the mirror finish might point to this being a PL/SP coin which then might be worth sending it in. Either way I might just wait to send it with a larger lot to minimize the investment for certification.
Thanks and hope to have another photo later on!

I've found some rough axial-lighting will do the trick for that sort of coin. Place a light source beside to the side of the coin and then hold a piece of glass at about a 45 degree angle between the coin and the camera, ensuring the light source is bouncing off the glass, onto the coin.. I found the glass from a dollar store L-shaped, free standing frame.
That should take care of any sort of viewing issues you should have.
