    As long as it exhibits no environmental damage I think it should grade . . . keep in mind that all graders have their own perspectives and prejudices.

    Not very attractive to me. It’s a 50/50 chance it will or won’t grade. All depends on the grader.

    Does it matter? Do you like the coin? My opinion, anybody else's opinion, and the opinion of a TPG really doesn't matter.

    I think it will grade, but as what?
    Pictures are not particularly good for making a serious judgement.

    Let's say it grades and comes back EF. You have spent $300 on the coin,
    IDK how much for the slab, and it's a $44 coin.

    I's definitely crusty.
    They might give it a 97.
    Environmental damage.
    It all depends on the surfaces.
    I would gamble on it but not at that price.

    Luster looks to be completely blown out and gone. I’d pay $27 for it. Lol

    I don't think I would purchase the coin for any other reason other than liking the coin as it is. And, if I did like the coin it would have to be cheap, real cheap.

    The best TPG is the one with the coin! In the end what really counts is in the eye of the beholder.

    I'm inclined to believe the seller's story, but I think this is off in Environmental Damage territory. Not "market acceptable", from what I can see.

    The pictures spend more space on showing the old wallet than the coin. That’s not a good sign. You would think the seller would have posted close-ups of the coin. Leather is usually not kind to coins.

    Just my thoughts, but it would come back details- questionable color. Certainly not worth the $300 plus grading fees gamble.

    I wouldn't call that coin "BU", and I certainly wouldn't want it, and DEFINITELY not at that price! 1924 is a very common date. I MIGHT be interested at that price if it graded MS-65 or higher, but I just don't like the toning.

    Suggestion to seller, get it into a straight graded holder, then ask for hundreds of $$. Until then it's the proverbial "pig in a poke."
