Should I send it off?

    I've been wondering whether to send this off for grading. If it will not slab above MS60 then there doesn't really seem to be much reason as I can easily sell it for what it's worth as an MS60 or below coin. Do you think there is a possibility that it would slab at a higher grade?

    I don't thinks it'll get a 60, but may be useful to have it slabbed for authenticity purposes.

    Not enough luster for a 60, and it's loaded with bagmarks. I would grade it AU53

    I would only have it slabbed if you plan on selling it. It always bumps up the price if you have it slabbed, especially on ebay. I agree with an AU53 grading mentioned above.

    No, it doesn't always. There are some times that it does, but there are those when it doesn't as well.

    This coin is not worth what it would cost to have it slabbed. You might as well just throw $80 away as pay to have that coin slabbed. And yeah, that's what it's gonna cost.

    Thanks for the responses. They helped me make up my mind.

    GDJMSP-Those were my thoughts exactly. If it's not going to grade MS I'm not going to spend the money to have it slabbed.
