Thinking about sending this off to grading. Would anybody have an idea as to the possible grade and finish of this coin? Maybe even a round about price? Also which company would be most reputable to use for grading? I was told this is a San Francisco minted coin and to me it does appear to be very faint as most are. Any and all info is much appreciated.
Hello! What did or what are they asking if for sale? Definitely a DETAILS coin based on the scratchy surface and rim wear. AU details in my opinion. Maybe $750 worth.1915 S Indian Head Gold $5 Half Eagle Early Gold Coins Coin Value Prices, Photos & Info (usacoinbook.com) Grading is a personal choice based on whether you and you only feel it's worth the time and money. I would try ANACS probably to cut costs of grading. Again, my personal opinion.
The AU prices vary from 750-2130, quite a jump for a very slight grade change. Not sure about price. Would like to get a solid grade on it. Don’t know if I’ll ever sell it, but who knows
That‘s for sure an AU coin, maybe details. Otherwise low AU and so not worth to be graded from a third party grader. Low and mid AU graded $5 Indians are not sought after, except some seldom offered mintmarked years like 1909 O or 1911 D for example.
