Looks nice, but I don't see a denomination on it anywhere. Is it a quarter or half dollar?

Less than a million minted. That coin , in POOR condition is worth $195.
I would get that coin graded and slabbed.
Big congratulations and Banner.

Nice find . As far as grading I wouldn’t bother. If your going to keep it why waste the money. If you do get it graded it will likely come back as genuine because of ground action. This grade unless it is a very rare coin may actually hurt retail value. Enjoy it ; it’s a great find . As for your question both NGC and PCGS are equally respected.

Absolutely amazing coin. XF at least (IMO) and if you didn’t wipe it much and just blow it off lightly with compressed air you may have a shot at avoiding a “details” grade. Stunning. Banner easily
