Finest coin I've ever seen

I've seen others here say that scans of coins do no justice,and that is certainly the case here.
You can nearly go blind examining this coin if the light shines up at you.
Its almost like a shimmering pool of molten chrome,with the 3D details hauntingly coming to life.
I tried to take some digital cam pics,but the focus was way off,as can be seen.
Questions - There seems to be some evidence of a few spots of foreign matter.
Would a slight dip be in order ?
Also,I'm guessing that it probably wouldn't be worthwhile to have this coin graded,correct ?
Nonetheless,this baby is getting a possible dip,then straight into an airtite.

And perhaps I will.
I ask questions here precisely because I am not a coin expert.
Obviously if I was,I wouldn't have the need to ask.
I know alot you regulars in these forums are accustomed to banter about amongst yourselves.
Thats fine,and as it should be,but my suggestion would be if you don't have anything useful to say,don't say it at all.

JJ, nice coin. Welcome to the forum. Don't get so worked up; most people are just trying to be helpful in their twisted little way. Also, you're invited to visit the World and Ancient Coin Forum, where people are a bit more accomodating.

Your right - I should think twice before replying to something at 3am half asleep.
I suppose snide remarks can be expected by any newcomer in any forum,but at least he didn't say
nothing bout my momma lol !
Anyways those pics don't do this coin justice,and I should have either got it right or not posted at all.
Welcome to the boards.
As 1jester noted, people here are mostly trying to help and we have been known to use sarcasm given the opportunity.
<< <i>By the way, you have to admit that your two statments "finest coin I've ever seen" and "this baby is getting a possible dip " don't compute.

Yeah I can sense the irony of those words to a purist,but they hold true for me.
It still ranks as the finest coin I've ever seen - Or lets just say the finest I've ever owned anyways-But those
few minor blemishes still hold it back a bit,and looks easily correctable.
Think I'll try soap n warm water see if that does any good.
