New here. Hope I'm doing this right, but wanted to get some opinions on this. Is it worth the process of getting it officially graded? *** Updated with better photos below, keeping originals for context ***

The problem with that coin is the unnatural color.
Assuming it's not because of your image that coin appears to have been dipped.
If that's the case then it doesn't have near enough value to merit being slabbed.

Tend to agree that the color doesn't look right.

I was thinking the color was coming off a little too "golden". I don't have my good camera with me as its on loan currently. but here are 2 different ones in more natural lighting. They seem a little closer to the actual color of the coin.

Much better pics. I'm thinking a solid 63 here, but not worth TPG fees.
Rest in Peace

There is still questionable color on the reverse . I do not recommend slabbing .

I agree ..color seems off

I would not have it graded, for the high fees of NGC or PCGS.

Maybe ANACS ... would still be a gamble on if it would get a details grade.
