ISABELLA QUARTER SLABBER/GRADE?

I want to slab this Isabella Quarter. Do you think I should bother? What grade do you think it would bring? Thanks. I scanned it in a plastic flip but give it your best shot. I have no idea.

    Your images are not really big enough to give a very accurate opinion. However, I'll offer one anyway.

    The coin looks cleaned to me. Unless the scan has taken all the lustre away, the coin looks as though it has been wiped or overdipped. Could be the scan.

    As far as a grade, it looks MS. I have an AU Isabella that shows slight rub on that tiara or whatever that thing is on the side of her head.


    Edited to fix the photo link.
