Barber Half "Cull"?

Another Barber half "cull" I got for $28. This one is a 1907-D. Looks to be about VF-30 to me. I'm thinking about sending it to ANACS to get a number grade, despite a possible "cleaned" result. Even cleaned, it might be worthwhile at this grade, you think? I'd like to hear from folks who have gotten Barbers, back "Details - Cleaned," or straight-graded with some scratches. Do you think this one stands a chance at a straight grade, maybe if the grader is having a really nice day? I see the scratches, but could it possibly squeak by? Thanks!

I don't know why you would call this a cull. Or why you would pay $28 for a cull. It would look nice in most collections.

 

Not too shabby for this condition.

 

I'm calling it 35 details.

 

I would be in the VF-25 camp and cleaned. It’s been cleaned with an abrasive like baking soda.

 

I'm at VF-25/30 details, cleaned. There's no way in my opinion this coin would straight grade. You did pretty good though, the coin is worth at least $60 in my book.
