What do you think this 1909s would grade that I found coin roll hunting and is it worth getting graded? I tryed to get the lighting to not blur out details
Wow, what an amazing find! It looks like an XF if it hasn't been cleaned (I suspect not, but I can't tell from the pictures). At first glance it appears authentic. Personally I wouldn't send it in unless I was planning on selling it.
You found that coin roll hunting? That is quite the real deal! That would grade around a mid-range AU, so you should probably get it graded as soon as possible. Potentially throw in a few more coins to lighten the load on shipping, since for 1-10 coins they usually charge $25, plus a handling fee of $10 a coin, along with around $5-6 to ship it to them. Do at least 2x2 it so you don't take a chance on damaging it.
Thank you guys for your input and yah I found it in a penny box that I hunted I was shocked! I'm definitely wanting to send it off to pcgs or ngc! But I wasn't sure it it would be worth it
NumisMedia/Fair Market Value lists XF40 at $156.00 USD. Slab it and you add fees, insurance and shipping before you sell (if that’s your plan). Figure those overhead costs into your sell price. Don’t forget the insurance and shipping costs to send it to whomever wants it. Now your net value is crowding $200 or more and fewer people will want to pull the trigger for it. But it is a lucky find and in amazing condition. Good luck and let us know how it shakes out…Spark @Adavis$$
The sharpness grade is EF, but I'm not sure about the left side of the reverse. You might get docked for environmental damage.
That coin will not grade high enough for you to recover your fees. Best to leave it as is. Nice find.
I could see it making a low XF grade, and I would submit it for certification/grading. With any key coin, you need to have it certified in order to sell it. You could send it to one of the less-expensive services such as ANACS. I should tell you that I believe in having all my coins certified to make it easier for them to be sold by my heirs. Fantastic find, although I suspect that your good fortune was another collector's loss. That is, the coin either came from a stolen collection or was spent by a kid out of his daddy's coins. What I'm saying is that coin hasn't been in circulation since 1909. Somebody had it and then didn't have it, if you know what I mean.
