Just curious what this one might grade. Also, the reverse has me questioning whether or not it was cleaned. I do like the obverse, though, particularly the nice rainbow tone.

Reverse looks fogged by a plastic coin flip, most likely with PVC in it. MS-64

Acetone the coin and see if the haze on the reverse comes off

MS64. Obverse fields looks really nice as well as the cheek. Nice rim toning as well.

On another note if you adjust your white balance the toning will come through a little more vibrant.

Edit: Will acetone remove PVC residue?

I've read that acetone will help remove PVC, but you have to be careful how you use it.

Mont, I can try adjusting the white balance for my camera. If I were to use photo editing, though, what can I do get a more desired result? I edited the photo a little bit but maybe I ended up making it worse. lol

Your camera adjustment look better.

a lot of people like Photoshop for editing pictures, I use a program called Gimp 2.8. It is supposed to be close to Photoshop and is freeware. Both programs have an "Auto White Balance" feature.

Used it on your newest picture

Brings out the toning just a little more. Your last picture was pretty close to balanced.

It looks like it could make MS-64.
Rest in Peace

63 might sqeak a 64. Looks to have been dipped though and the obv rim color was from being put in an album with fresh surfaces after the dip
