   Hello All New to coin collecting and would like some opinions on the grade of this coin, and if it would be of benefit to send to a grading service. The pictures are not of high quality, I'm a rookie with a camera, its a little cheap cannon but I think there is enough information to evaluate. Thanks in advance. John

   the more I see the scratch on the face, the less chance I think it has of getting a number grade. is all that black stuff really black, or is any of it green? (don't try to remove it) being semi-key its still got a good bit of value as is because of the semi-key and the otherwise nice details.

   Welcome! Nice first post! I think this may not grade with the scratch.

   Hi, welcome to the forum! I think xf but the scratch may preclude a grade. the color looks off but that may just be a white balance issue.

   << <i>45, but nasty scratch through the eye. May or may not grade at all. >> Agreed.

   First off welcome to the forums. Secondly You have a very nice semi key date there. I don't think it will straight grade due to the scratch. If it wasent in such a prime focal point you might get away with it. With that said if you don't have much into it it may be a good idea to get it in a slab just to be sure its…

   1. Reverse photos? 2. What is the color of that background the coin is sitting upon? It looks light beige. 3. Is that a scratch into the eye?

   Try taking the pic on a white piece of paper as the true color of the coin is very important to determining many variables. Believe it or not you can get some good pics with a smart phone and you should always post obverse and reverse of a coin as they both determine grade as a whole.
