Thinking About Submitting Some of my U.S Coins for Grading: If I do, what can I expect on this one?

The bulk, greater than 90 % of my U.S coin collection is raw, just as I bought them
15-30 years go.

I have been thinking about submitting some of them to either NGC or PCGS.
Both are now active in Europe so this is now feasible.

In your opinions, what can I expect on this one: grade / comments.

Flowing Hair Dollar, variety B-5, the 'bar' variety, R-1.

Thank you for your opinions!

I'm thinking VF30

 

An ugly plastic holder that will never let you touch the history again.

 

No need to be sarcastic/non-constructive.

If I am asking it's for a good reason.

 

How ironic, the man who literally wrote the book on slabs, secretly hates slabs and everything they stand for. Sorta like if the green giant hated vegetables

 

I'm in the 15 to 20 camp. And happy to offer you face value for it. (kidding!)

 

Beautiful coin, good luck

 

What better method to maximize your opportunity to hate?

 

VF-30. There are some remnants of luster left in the protected areas of the devices.

 

I'm going to agree with your opinion. TPG's tend to be a little more liberal with 18th century American coinage IMHO.

But I like the coin and it has nice eye appeal.

 

I like the coin, but I think it has a chance of coming back in a details holder as "cleaned". Maybe it's just the photography but the surfaces have a once-polished look to me. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Even if it is a "details" coin, it's one that would still benefit from TPG grading if you're concerned about selling it, or eventual sale by your heirs.

 

I am in the possible cleaned camp

 

VF30 or perhaps VF35.

I am thinking cleaned too but they give a little slack on these. It all depends on if it has a market acceptable appearance.

 

Cleaned and maybe polished (lightly).

 

I'd guess it at vf25.

 

I think VF30; the obv die had a very deeply impressed Liberty head so the relief on the coin was high leading to more rapid wear of the hair details.

 

I see the same thing, but if it the surfaces are deemed market-acceptable, it'll be net graded down a notch rather than put in a details holder. VF25.

 

Nice coin. VF25.
