It's a sweet penny, but you'll need a shot at MS66-red or better to be worth the grading cost.

Lighting makes the coin a bit difficult to assess. Probably falls in the MS63-65 range. Decent hole filler, nice find.

Not much upside give the cost of grading. Actually, you'll need 67RD to make this pay, not 66.

Panzaidi The reason for the split pics of the obverse & reverse is my field of view is restricted due to my microscope setup which limits the full-size pic of the coin.

allcoinsaregood, What is your set up? Scope brand, lighting? It looks like you are using more than one light source when you should be using only one. Also, looks like you need to filter your light. Have you tried to put your scope on a stack of books so the entire coin fits? John1 |

John1 the Microscope is a Chinese brand I bought from Amazon. It is mounted on a Rack & Pinion with a solid base approximately 4.5 inches by 6.25. The R & P is mounted on the back of the base with a collar arrangement (no adjustment) that the microscope camera mounts on and points to the center of the base. When you adjust the R & P to the fullest height, the field of view shows a half image of the coin. The height of the R & P is 5.5 inches and I need another inch to get a full picture of the coin. I tried to contact the manufacture to get another R & P but received no answer, so that's the story! As to the lighting the camera has 8 diodes mounted in a circle where the lens and two side lamps. I play around with the light levels (rheostat controlled) to get the best overall picture. Cheap setup but all I can afford. Regards! |

I know those micro-cameras. You need to raise 4 to 5 inch in order to have full coin. with good software you an have very decent photos if have also additional side lights.

I have two scopes,$20 and $60. In order to get a full coin shot of a dollar sized coin I have to place the scopes stand on a pile of books,give that a try. I also put a filter on the on-board lights and most times turn off those lights and use a hand help led flashlight with a filter over that,give it a try. John1 |

Good idea John for those who do not invest.
For the coin I look close and saw at least 6 manipulation marks which will drop the grading. In the best of best you will have 65
