Error? Grading?

Hello. I'm Adam from Utah. I was working at a gas station and while counting money I came across a couple Susan B Anthony dollars and decided to buy them. When I got home I started looking into currency and found out that there are lots of coins out there that have errors and they sell for big bucks. I also started picking up fancy serial number bills and low run star notes( which I have 4 250,000 run notes). I came across this dollar recently and had to have it. So the first thing that struck me is it's quality and shine. Then, even though it's hard to tell in the picture, the background of the coin is way shiny, while the images are almost brushed or something. Any thoughts or opinions? Thank You

Very cool finds none-the-less! I kick myself constantly for not buying all of the cool things I came across as a Cashier.

Wouldn't doubt if you hit a jackpot one of these days! Welcome to Numismatics! :D

Go to PCGS price guide and look to see if there's varieties listed for a coin, then open the images and compare your coin. You must be careful on where you get your information online.
