Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4995271, member: 105098"]if this 1917 checks out as DDO-001, and you really got to pull up the info on it and make comparisons, I think grading might be worth considering, but up to you. the other one not so much but this one is harder to come by and has more value than the other. This one probably starts at $100 in the good range, and by VG10 can break $200 in auction. was one that sold at stacks and bowers auction in May, looking much worse than yours and was VG8 and sold for $95 when coins of a lower grade were selling for more, it was that much of a dog. kind of iffy on the grading, I don't like to do it if I feel it eats up too much of the value, it's expensive on a case by case basis, so it's more of a personal preference I guess whether to grade it or not.as far as variety attribution and authentication/verification though, might be best to save up 12 coins you want to do, and send them to ANACS on the special which is  currently  12 coins for $119, and additional coins are $10 each. it's not the best third party grader for resale value of course, PCGS would be that, then NGC, but it's a low cost option to get a grade opinion, attribution verification and authentication, and encapsulation for like $10 each shipping of course, but with 12 coins or more that breaks out pretty low per slab also, so you get it done without breaking the bank. Anyways,  that might be the way to go if Grandpa has another dozen or so hiding for you to find in there LOL! Something to look at, anacs.com.  this special ends Nov. 30th, but they do various offers through the year here and there so if you miss it, there will be another if you decide to do it later and not in a hurry.[/QUOTE]
