i don't know moniker. each photo is giving a different look to the coin. the first one is clouded. the second and third ones looks like a cleaning and then improper storage and the next one also looks too cloudy, and the final one has too much glare from overhead light thats causing shadows.

maybe AU or unc details (cleaned/PMD) based on these

Thank you it is cloudy/toned. But on purpose I didnt take photos when it reflected black, even harder to take good photos

On the positive side not a single mark on coin

Unrecognized grading .
The reason the coin is cloudy .
Surface contamination. The look is common on
US proof coins of the period.
A soak in sudsy ammonia will certainly help.
That said , indeed about a two dollar retail coin .

It's a proof, but I don't see the deep cam. Looks like some PVC damage causing the cloudiness. Some marks by Kennedy's ear, PF-65.

Pvcdamage darn I thought this was a highend holder
Atleast its a proof, would be a shame to break it out cuz its funny and its just a 2dollar coin, or 0,50

Idk if its a deep cam, I don't expect it to be.

Photos are hard, this matches the quality of the holder


I will spare you the 69 sacagewa,

Thanks for all replies
