What to do with this 1863 GB penny?

This penny has some sauder on the edge about 4 mm worth. I had the sauder removed by a jeweler (they did a professional job) . So this penny is a details coin (maybe cleaned or maybe ex-jewelry).

But, the question is: What do I do with it now? Trade, sell, buy a piece of gum...

It may be worth grading because it's uncommon. But, is the condition: AU Details, XF Details, or something else? Is that worth enough to grade or worth anything at all?

I'd be interested in any ideas you had for this coin.

It appears to be a '65 instead of a '63. Regardless, I don't think it would be worth slabbing, especially if you think it would receive a "details" grade.

I assume you mean that the photograph predates the solder removal. If not, I sure see a big chunk of it remaining at 12:00.
