1999 Wide AM Greased Die? Grade it?

Would you recommend I send this to PCGS for grading? Is it a greased die on the obverse?

What's the estimated value?

Thank you all,

Definately a greased die. Unfortunately, on a coin like this, it's going to detract from the value IMO. The pictures are very over-exposed, tough to grade from them, but it the coin looks to be about EF. As rare as these are you could probably still expect to be able to sell this for about $75 or so.

 

dont want to rain on the parade but can we see a bigger picture of the observe. mostly the concentrate on the date.

if you cant see the last "9" it could be any date.

Sorry, i was thinking its could be a 1992 ? Snowman

 

It's a 99 for sure. You can see it clearly without the light from the coin microscope.

 

Hi,

When a coin has corrosion or is not struck well, it is not worth the fee to send it in for grading. Most grading companies will either label it as a problem coin or they won't grade it at all.

Also, this is just my humble opinion. There is never a need to send in a coin that is easily identifiable unless the grade is outstanding. The fees for grading can often be more than the coin is worth.

In other words, if you can see that it is a 1999 Wide AM and the "experts" here or on other forums can identify it as a Wide AM, what's the point of paying a fee for someone to tell you the same thing. I see a lot of people who have more money invested in the slabs than the coins in them are worth. I guess I have a hard time with that concept

Thanks,
Bill

 

Indeed....sage advice!

 

Thanks for the good advice on grading v. not grading. This is not an MS-63+ coin so why spend the $.
