Worth submitting based on the luster and originality.

I didn’t see a question mark in your comment, so I will give it my GTG: MS58.
This was graded and the TV is what has been shared... In hand it looks better than the image. I suspect this is a coin that may not be for everyone. Further, the coin illustrates the challenges in grading from an image. It was graded one point shy of my high-end range and in the MS spectrum.

This is mine. I only post it because it shows the same central weakness which appears as rub on your coin due to the darkening in that area. I'd guess your graded 62.

Thanks for sharing your image. Your coin has greater eye appeal than mine and I suspect your coin graded at least a full point higher... perhaps even obtained a +. My coin is a challenge to grade from an image mainly because the intense luster and chartwheel appearance are not captured in the images. Also the toning... which is neutral at best to perhaps leaning slightly negative especially to those that demand white or simply do not prioritize originality... may hide surface imperfections which are magnified at higher grade levels. My coin has cleaner surfaces than one might surmise from looking just looking at the TV.
There was never a doubt in my mind that the coin was submission worthy. However, there is that subjective component associated with grading which in my mind means that there is no "lock" grade. Instead, there is a grade range whereby one can possibly contemplate the most probably outcome. In this instance my low range was MS63 at 35% followed by 64 at 50% and 65 at 15%. The coin graded MS64 which was my most probable grade outcome.

Yours has finer detail than coinkat's on the obverse such as on the llama an cornucopia.
