However, my eyes have gotten me into trouble before, so I need to borrow some that have seen more than mine. Would you have this piece graded or keep raw? Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Yours has rims so can't be broadstruck. Also, as noted by @cuj, broadstruck coins are larger than normal in diameter.
