Looks genuine to me, possibly mint mark 2 or 3. Nice woody reverse.

Me too . Is the true colors of the obverse and reverse that much off , or is it lighting issues for the both sides ? Obverse VF-25 , Reverse EF-45 .

It is the lighting. Needed to get a better picture of the reverse so it was in hand vs obverse picture flat on the table  |

Wonderful example. Normally I would advise only buying one of these in a TPG, but you scored a winner. Congratulations. |

Would this be a good canidate for grading and as a first slabbed coin are NGC and PCGS both equally recognized?

I think most would agree that it is worthy of TPG submission. The top 3 are PCGS, NGC and ANACS and they are all generally reliable. It would certainly increase the resale value to have it authenticated and slabbed.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

 to CCF. I am no pro but have a question. Photo 3 shows a lighter color around the mint mark, like maybe glue residue? The one time I hope I am wrong  John1  Edited by John1

I'd recommend NGC, but wait until you have more coins to submit. One coin submissions are expensive for the cost per coin.

Looks like the real thing. A slight dip in Acetone would stop your worries about a possible Mint mark added with glues. And Acetone will not damage the coin.
