I can't grade these at all, but I am envious. :-)
Nice Coin.

It appears genuine on my first impression. If your goal is to sell it, yes, TPG certification is a must. A must anyways! swcoin.ecrater.com

How soon they forget! Remember the 1800 dollar we all helped authenticate and grade right here on this forum? The one that sold, raw, for $11,500 just 11 days ago? Not including buyer's premium? Compare that to what any slabbed example gets at Heritage! https://goccf.com/t/134798What the TPG's really sell is fear. Fear of counterfeits, fear of being cheated. When collectors come together on a forum like this, to teach and learn from each other, we can put each other's fears to rest, and the slabbers will have nothing to sell but their plastic. Sorry for the soapbox. |

why do you think it will get the details grade?

The only advantage to selling a coin like this raw is that in some cases the details of a coin may lead one to believe (or hope) that it is undergraded. If its a details grade coin, there may be some advantage to selling it raw as well but with the amount of fakes out there today in the vast majority of cases slabbing will bring the highest premium.

A slab is practically a must for this coin if you ever plan on selling it online or in an auction. Good thing I am not planning to sell.  Quote:

I think it was Breen who was was of the opinion that the majority of Draped Bust and Flowing Hair dollars have been cleaned at some point in their history, whether or not not it is recognizable today.

Put me down as the third vote for B-9. Quote:
The market demands slabs for maximum value. Because there aren't enough people who know what they are looking at to run the prices up high. So the slabs allow them to increase the potential market by bringing in a lot of people who don't know what they are buying. |

Welcome, but, without a doubt, another example of the most common 1799 dollar counterfeit we see on this site. https://goccf.com/t/143280Edited by philadelphian

"why do you think it will get the details grade?"
Cleaned in the past, and retoned. Not likely to receive a numerical grade from a top tier grading service.
