<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1971394, member: 112"]That coin in that grade is worth from $150-$180 for a decent looking example. The cost to have PCGS work on it is $25, whether they work on it or reject it - not all coins are accepted as candidates for their conservation service. That fee also covers the coin being graded after work is completed. There are no additional charges for grading. But there are charges for shipping and insurance. So for $30-$35 you can have it done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course there is no guarantee that after they dip your coin that it will still be a gradeable coin.

Sell the coin as is, and buy another just like it that you actually like, that doesn't need any work done on it. Money out of pocket to do that, probably about the same amount you'd have to pay PCGS.
