i got this coin at the show last weekend, it's pretty darn nice, there is almost no contact, only a tiny tic above the king's mustache, a light scratch on the bottom obverse, a bit of bag marks above the date and that's about it aside from almost unnoticeable luster breaks which are very small and few and far between, it is a pretty clean and attractive coin and I am thinking it could do well at PCGS, opinions are appreciated, the pics don't do it justice, this purple little luster bomb is something to behold in hand. apologies for so many pics, and keep in mind that what you see is much mess noticeable in person        Feel free to call me Will.

Can I ask what's happening on the rim, at around 6-7 o clock on the obverse pics? As well as the 4 o clock on both sides? Are those dings or just errors in the pics?

Impossible to grade from pics with all that toning going on.
Beautiful coin.

Great obverse color, but I'd also like to see some better close-ups before taking a stab at the grade.
