Message:: [QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1576025, member: 29643"]I think one reason you didn't get grade opinions was how TPGs treat fingerprints on coins. You also stated that you think it'd be PF-55/58. I don't see a reason that wouldn't be the net grade that you'd receive. It might be graded AU Details with the details grading options now available to TPGs. As others have said, it's not worth it to get the coin graded. Now, especially, since you've noted that the minimum submission is five coins, it makes no sense to get the coin in question graded. Personally, I'd say PF-52, as there's lots of weakness on the left wing of the reverse. That said, your idea to have the coin encapsulated to prevent environmental damage is likely misplaced. If the coin is already showing fingerprints, the acids/oils from the prints will continue to damage the coin, even in the holder. There's a chance that ANACS _might_ choose to not holder the coin, since they can already see the prints on the coin. I'm guessing that many of the coins with prints in holders did not have the apparent prints on them when the coins were encapsulated. I wouldn't waste time/money with having the coin graded. If you absolutely MUST have it in a case, go buy a $2 coin holder.[/QUOTE]
