What would this silver proof coin be graded at?

I'm thinking about grading a silver proof 2009 kew gardens 50p but I'm not sure what grade it will get. I wanted your opinion on what grade it could get before submitting it off to NGC or PCGS. Here are two pictures:

Welcome to the forum,

I can't help with the grade your coin might get, apart from being unqualified on a knowledge point of view, the image isn't anywhere near good enough to see fine details. It does seem to have a bit of toning around the edge on both sides, but it's not possible to see the finer details that matter, like hairlines and so on.

Maybe another forum member will be able to help you.

If it's a silver proof that theroretically should have spent it's whole life in a capsule, and doesn't show any signs of being handled or abused. I would say it should attract a PR69 or PR70 grade or perhaps a PR68 worse case.

As above mentioned above, it does seem to have a rather large amount of toning/staining. Better images with it removed from the capsule would certainly help.

Thanks everyone, yeah I'm sorry about the pictures didn't realise they were that bad. I'll get better photos.

Maybe it would be good for conservation. I think it's $25 plus shipping to have it conserved and graded if you have someone send it in for you. I guess first examine for any scratches at all. Even  slight scratches would probably make it not worth grading.
