Tough to tell from these pictures - but it also looks like it may be a Large S - Which would give it a little more pop too!

But I'll let the experts weigh in - But better pictures would certainly help!

Good Luck with it!

Need better quality images, & as Funky Strike pointed out, could be the Large S.

The coin is circulated and cleaned. Did you look up values for a circulated example before thinking of sending it off?

It doesn't matter if it's full bands if it's cleaned or circulated or both.

I totally agree with Daniel. You would end up spending money, getting a details coin, and would have poured all the potential profits into getting it encased in plastic.
