    What do you think? What makes you post this?


    I think it's heavily polished.

    Welcome to CT. Your photos are not giving us too much to go on but it does appear to have been polished unless it's your lighting. We will need better, clear, overhead shots.

    Absolutely not. Please understand that the vast majority of perfectly collectible coins do not need or in any way benefit from being graded. In order for said grading to be worthwhile, it must add something of value to a coin that is at least equal to the cost of submitting it. This could be anything from increased liquidity to independently verified authenticity, and everything in between.

    Folks newer to this hobby must understand that the TPGs are not the collector's friend, but are for-profit businesses more than willing to take your money while offering nothing in return. Submitting coins is akin to a game in that if you play it right, you'll end up with something of value worth more than the cost of admission, but play wrong and you can easily become buried.

    Although difficult to say with absolute certainty from your photos, it appears you've a cleaned 1928-S Peace that, while not worthy of a submission, will make a fine starter coin for a newer collector.

    It's a nice coin, although heavily polished, but I would not personally submit it for grading. I doubt it would grade straight and you would not make any money off of grading it. In my opinion, coins should only be graded if the grade adds more value to the coin than was lost on the grading fee.

    It's still a very nice coin to start a collection with :)
    I hope you find interest in the hobby and continue asking questions. Have fun.

    Trust me, I've thought about this too, especially considering how many times I've written what is essentially the same post over the last however many years.

    Feel free. :)

    I think @BooksB4Coins gave a good response to you in the beginning here! What I have to add to this is about your photo's. When you take a photo to post on here, you want it to be as clear as you can. What I have found is to put your coin on a flat surface. Take your camera and elevate it with a couple of books, 2-2X4's or anything for that matter. Focus the camera and take the best photo you can. Use a flash light to get a great lighted coin, use whatever you have to get the best photo you can. You can take good photos without a professional set up. There are times that you will get a better photo by NOT zooming in and using that feature after the photo is taken. Welcome to CT since I haven't introduced myself before.

    I too believe that coin has been polished, repeatedly. Looks like a '23. Not rare. One of my favorite series. Hope it sparks an interest in this hobby for you.
