So cell-phone shots are going to have to do until I get to my real camera tomorrow.
This was a cherrypick, unfortunately, not by myself.
The pictures are a little out of focus, like I said, these are cell-pics. But in hand, the coin appears to be a solid VF/VF+.
The obverse is significantly better than the reverse, is this common for the coin?
There is a fair amount of luster remaining on the obverse and reverse, although there is a slight chance the coin was dipped at one time.
So for a coin that there is what, 10-15 known (most low grades), should this be sent in through Secure Plus? Will they still do a details grade if it is a cleaned piece?
Thanks for your advice and good pictures will be following tomorrow!

A local person picked it and I am going to submit it for him.
We figured maybe try for secure plus, because with all the service fees and shipping both ways, it'll cost about $130 without secure plus, or $145 with.
I still don't fully understand secure plus. I would say there is about a 50/50 chance that it would come back cleaned.
I hesitated to say from the horrible pictures, but I think it has a shot at XF. The coin really does look sharp in hand. So would a problem free XF40 benefit being in a secure slab?
If I read the pop reports correctly, the highest PCGS is a 35 I believe. And the Fortin Plate Coin was a 50...
It is indeed a pretty awesome coin. As everyone always says on eBay, pics don't do this coin justice.
But that is the truth with these pics.

Jordan... that is indeed a nice Small O Closed bud. I would grade it EF45 on details but you will need to run the TPG gauntlet for a holdered grade. If you want a details grade, then go with NGC. But for their piece, the grade is rather obvious and it is worth a shot at PCGS even if it ends up in a Genuine holder.
If the coin is intended for resale, then again have it holdered first. Then check my webpage here for an idea of retail pricing; http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/major_100_pricing.htm Please be aware that there are many more than 10-15 Small Closed buds known. The question now is finding a nice original specimen in EF or better.
Below is my example purchased years ago and in the condition census as a comparison. This coin sits in a PCGS Geniune holder code 92.
