I have a 1911 $20 st Gaudens with motto from my collection and I can see it has hairlines on it when I direct it to the right light. I was going to get it graded and heard that sometimes they still get normal graded depending on certain things but I thought I'd ask you fine experts. Looks like it was done with a cloth. Will this get graded anything if not UNC Details cleaned? And will it be worth anything besides market gold weight? Thanks! * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff
