If it's purely financial justification - I'd understand that, of course - go out and find real-world auction results from similar sales by comparison to the non-variety types in the same grade. A good indicator of rarity (hence worthiness for an attributed slab) is scarcity of sales records at all - in the case of this coin, I was only able to find two prior sales in my search of the "usual suspects" sites. </p><p><br /></p><p>And don't rely on me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not a Half Dime guy.

Instead, I'll nudge you in the direction of the research yourself. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2413109, member: 1892"]That depends on your criteria for "worth submitting."

A good indicator of rarity (hence worthiness for an attributed slab) is scarcity of sales records at all - in the case of this coin, I was only able to find two prior sales in my search of the "usual suspects" sites. And don't rely on me. :) I'm not a Half Dime guy. I'm a generalist, with a specialization in research, and I went out and learned what I posted here specifically for that post.
