i have two toned 1921-D walkers that "appear" to be about VF. this date is well known to be weakly struck and i believe my coins may be uncirculated or AU due to the luster across the devices and their lack of nicks and scratches. i plan on submitting these coins for grading. my question is does it help to submit with a minimum grade (AU or MS60) or not? my concern is that graders may be reluctant to give a grade this high due to pressure they may feel from potential complaints from buyers. does stressing my opinion of a high grade help or not? any opinions?
If you submit with a minimum grade, and you are off, the coin comes back in a body bag. You pay for a no grade. Graders do not know who the submitter is when they grade the coin. So you only get the grade the coin deserves. While the Denver mint is well known for weak strikes, most of the early Walkers did not suffer too badly. If you post a pic, we will be happy to offer an opinion of grade.
