[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7561136, member: 105098"]Hi Dirtyfingers, Getting it graded is up to you, but I'd say ungraded they rarely exceed $70 unless pictures are nice or someone can judge it themselves in hand. I'd like the 1899-O at around $70 for this reason, and tried for it knowing he thought it was overgraded on the 2x2. I think you'd need to get the MS65 grade to make the cost of grading worth getting it graded to break even on it. MS64 regularly sell on Ebay around $90-$100. You'd really need it to get the MS65 to push it into the $150+ category. If it comes back cleaned/details. you've overpaid considerably and never going to recover the cost of the coin, or the grading fee on it. grading would just add more cost to it really in my opinion, it's got the one out of actually grading MS65, and two outs of coming back MS64 or lower, or possibly cleaned. I'd of liked it cheaper unless you really can tell grade and if it's been cleaned prior, but It's not a horrible deal, I mean it would still look nice in an album just as it is. I'm not sure it's worth it to send it for grading unless you know it will straight grade and that it should make MS65.[/QUOTE]
