Been told it's in beautiful shape. Wondering if it's worth getting graded and slabbed. It's my favorite coin n my collection. Thx guys   |

Can you show us the true color of this coin - these steely-gray pics cannot be accurate.

Also with it being a PIDT does that hurt the grade and value or help it?   |

Honestly that's about as close as it gets to wat it looks like in person. The obverse has a strong blueish tint to it and the reverse looks well.. like that.. I can try and get sum better ones

Last pic is the best so far, the others are overlit. Appears to be a woody!
Looks like flash is on and it's saturating the picture. Turn it off and use a desk lamp instead. Too much light is just as bad as too little light.

That is a pretty good looking LWC you have there. I'm happy it's your favorite : ) Keep in mind...grading it and having it put in a slab will cost you time and $$ The PCGS website shows there were over 309 million of these minted...so they are somewhat common...and at it's highest grade so far MS67BN they place it's value at $50 and if it only grades a MS66BN then $20 and at MS65BN $8.00. I don't think your coin is going to grade MS67BN. So the value of your coin is going to be eaten up in the cost to have it graded and and put in a slab. I would put it in a nice coin album and try and make this example the standard for the rest of your collection. Hope that helps and Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing more of your favorites! smat |

Nice coin, strong example of a woody. Without larger, high(er) resolution photos to better determine, I'm thinking MS63.

Nice coin, great color! But not a proof. Devices aren't nearly sharp enough and the rims on this example are round, a proof would have squared rims. Not worth sending in to a TPG, but a nice MS63/64 BN example IMO. |
