I've been holding on to this one for a while. Let me know what you think! https://imgur.com/l6iIAI7 https://imgur.com/jAh4xzi
The rim damage and surfaces may not allow it to grade outright, and it could receive a details grade. I echo the words of my peers, don't send it in.
I don't see why not. If you can afford it, and you like your coins to be slabbed with the real experts' opinion of the grade, go for it!
What’s the coin worth? If more than the costs associated with purchasing the coin & grading, I would have it graded.
I think it's in VF. Prices get sketchy but red book says $145-235. $235 being VF35. I think it's somewhere in the VF25 range.
I think it would be alright getting graded but the rim damage is why I turned to advice. PCGS VF/XF details might be a probable outcome if I were to send it in.
no, the cleaning on the right obverse limits the grade to VF Details cleaned, even if they disregard the rim damage, which they probably won't. I'd put the value in the $30-$50 range. Here is one that Heritage sold in 2011 with better details and the cleaning designation: https://coins.ha.com/itm/barber-qua.../131129-20157.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515
I would grade it F-VF, worth about $50 if no problems, and it unfortunately has multiple problems. Not worth being certified.
