I recently bought some rolls from the bank and got a whole lot of 2020 d BWR... I looked through a roll, and pulled out all the high grade coins. Here's the best: I'm thinking MS69 or MS68+. Is it worth sending in? Probably not, but IDK. And FYI, that's a doe break or polish line under "U" in united on the reverse, not a scratch. Same on the bottom tip of the shield.
I wouldn't, but I suppose that if you do, you could get lucky. The chances are pretty dismal, though.
Look for the many varieties, the value of a coin is moved by the scarcity and demand for high graded coins, if you ask yourself if a high graded has both demand and is scarce, it is worthwhile. Also note, some TPG graders do not use loupes, so if you think it is a new discovery, first get written confirmation from an expert through an attribution, send letter to the TPG--this increases chances does not guarantee results.
You missed the big dent on the Reverse between PLURIBUS and UNUM. Also a hit on the upper rim of the shield and above the T in CENT, and that's only what I found with a quick look using poorly lit photos. You need to be a lot more thorough checking for marks if you are looking for MS 68-70. If not, you're going to be wasting a lot of money on grading fees. It's very, very difficult to find ultra high grades in rolls. The coins fall into 2500-3000 pound bags, are shipped by truck, dumped into hoppers, counted and rolled. Lots and lots and lots of opportunities for them to pick up minor marks that drop them out if high MS territory
I did see a few of those things, but thought it would still get a high grade because I have a a PF69 nickel with some dents/scratches on it, but it's still PF69.
It's not a 69. There are numerous flaws. Obverse is pretty good, but there are a lot of marks, scratches and gouges on the reverse.
There are too many small marks and dings for it to be a 67. Sending it in for grading would be a waste of your money.
@Michael K, thanks you, but many of those marks circled are die polish marks. Blame it on my poor photography. But overall, I believe we have made the conclusion that I shouldn't send it in for grading. So for now, I'm throwing it in a plastic slip.
