amazing find! congrats and thanks for sharing!
I think the copper is just lighting by the way it only seems to reflect off the edge of the raised designs.

Very nice find indeed. Makes one wonder how they operate at the mint though, just a big old pile of dies laying around that they pick from.

Great find... It will be well worth your while. Do yourself a favor and send it to be graded. 8 years ago, mine went to ICCS and graded MS60. yours is better than mine was. CCCS will also grade it. Yours looks like it should be about MS64... big $$ mine sold for 8K in a private transaction to a BC collector who already had several of them. a few months later there was one in an auction in Australia for 12K US here is the image of mine  Roger, at the time you sent me this question: why did you not sell it to me?

Thank you to everyone who posted information, opinions and insight to this thread. I am still calculating my next move at this time. Any more guesses as to the grade?

Very hard to tell with the lighting on your coin... 1985 is a notoriously bad year for "baggy" coins.

Hard to grade from these pics.
I will guess good EF (British/NZ grading)

Your coin , the way it looks, and compared to the one I had, will grade MS.. at least 62 IMO.
Mine was MS60... compare these yourself.

I mailed the coin to PCGS nearly 3 months ago today along with a few others. I finally got the notification for the grade today. The coin is authentic and comes with a grade of MS-62. Not too bad. I was expecting 60 and hoping for 62 so I'm content with that.  |

Here's a list of the PCGS fees. Shipping is extra and was shared with other coins in the submission. I don't know exactly but well worth the money for a rarity. https://www.PCGS.com/servicesandfees |

Congrats!! You can now "show" your coin without it having to leave a safe place, and selling it in an auction in the future will be easy in a PCGS holder.
