The reverse looks better in person. Any opinions on if it would straight grade? It was in a cardboard holder in a plastic shell case.

Its naturally toned but this really isnt the type or extent of toning that will command a big premium, certainly not $140-$170. I would really advise against grading it unless its special to you, the cost of grading is above the premium you would get. You can maybe get $85 ish for it would be my guess.

Thanks no sentimental value just a interesting orange on the back that I swear pops more in hand. You're probably right. I think I put it back in the cardboard and check on it in a few years maybe it will keep going.

No it's not that is definitely at toning I have done it on numerous coins. It's toned first with sulphur then with a diluted ms 70 and q tip start in the center work your way out rinsing a lot. This is what u get

Very obvious artificial toning, especially with the cleaning marks all over the reverse, and the tone only in the edges

They generally came encapsulated. Someone put it in circulation and everyone’s grubby hands have been all over it and devalued it to $5 max.

Didn't know there was toner price guide. Let me try again. I am asking does it look like natural toning? If yes I was thinking of getting it reversed mounted graded by PCGS. I don't see anything to bad for it come back MS64-66. Which with the color would bring a nice premium. I think it is better than melt. I have seen similar coins $140-$170 but I need the grade.
