    Based on your pics I'd guess MS64. If I could see it in hand under good lighting it may go up or down one grade.

    Maybe a + bump for eye appeal ???

    Unless you can burn ants off the sidewalk, it won't CAC :D

    Nice coin though, I like it.
    BTW...23-D's are noted for having some of the greatest toning of all saints but I can't really tell from the pic.

    Most of the 23-D's I've see have blazing luster and color. If this has been graded by a top TPGS, I'll guess it is in an MS-65 slab at the minimum.

    Pretty coin. Depends on luster, which is a bit hard to show in a single photo. I'm in the 64/5 camp.

    Have you tried weighing it to make sure it's real?

    Do you have a question about its authenticity? Nothing about it makes me wonder.

    Submerged it in acid to confirm its' Gold content.

    The good news is that it passed - no tungsten visible in the core. The bad news is that now it will only grade P01 Details, Corroded due to the complete obliteration of the details.

    Available for sale for just melt value! Any takers?

    Suspend it in distilled water, if it floats it's made of wood, if it sinks take it out of the water and drop it.
    If it hits the ground gravity is still working if it suspends in mid air it's a fake. :D

    I would HATE it in a 65 holder.

    It appears to be an average quality 64. Sheet is $1505 which is about most you may get for it off the bourse. I would not waste money on sticker.

    The spots on it eliminate it from what I consider PQ. Unless slabbed and close to melt not a buyer.
