  Was passed down from my dad and I'm curious if this is XF or better ? what kind of value can I put on it? Do you think it's worth grading NGC? I'm not a member, but I was thinking of joining. Is it worth joining and getting free vouchers? I'm not selling. looking for great stories and values. *** Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images.

Nice coin, thanks for sharing. It definitely has numismatic value, hold it near & dear.

Definitely not xf. Still a nice example but vf at best, in my humble non-expert opinion.

NGC Price guide at VF is $300 (recently increased). That makes it well into the area worth slabbing.

I like NGC and I have a few slabs no PCGS
I like to get this Coin graded
What kind of free vouchers can I get?
And how do I submit to NGC?
Do I have to be a member or a coin dealer?
I've always bought slabs but never submitted
Is it better to have my (LCS) coin dealer Brian submit the coin for me? Would he get a better deal?

If you only need one coin graded by NGC, it going to cost you about $100 for economy grading, associate membership, and shipping fees. if you only have one coin graded, using your dealer may be the best option if you can piggy back onto his order.
If you get the premium membership it cost $159, but you get a $150 grading credit. This works well if you have other coins that need or want graded. It is only good for a year.
Coins must be sent in a flip 2.5" x 2.5" none PVC. Follow NGC instruction on packing, shipping. For an economy grading, I would send it Priority Mail small box.

See if there's a local coin store you can go to, to help you with submition, or check the next upcoming coin show. Just about every coin show I attend has a grading company set up. Best of luck.

Very nice keepsake. A TPG would grade this below XF. Sending it in gets your coin protected and authenticated. |

It wouldn't grade anymore than VF20, but it might be graded F15, depending on the mood of the grader. If you're looking for "great stories", http://www.doubledimes.com/ has basically every bit of information on this whole series of coins, it's a very interesting read! |

Well, you guys sure know how to burst a bubble—and then inflate it right back up!  When you guys here first called it a Fine 15, my heart sank because I thought we were talking about a common pocket-change coin from 1975. You can imagine the absolute joy when I realized that it retails between $225 and $335 in this condition, and up to $500 if it sneaks into a VF-20 holder, definitely made my day. My dad and I have been hitting up Brian's shop together for years! My father loves his honest sarcasm. IMO.it's much more fun in a simple black-ring capsule. Because There is something magical about holding the silver my dad held, laughing together while wondering what kind of wild western brothel ,saloon trouble or a poker game it paid for back in the day.(love the stories about the old West.!) I'm keeping all its wonderful character intact so I can eventually pass this piece of history with dad's awesome legacy~down to my kids. And hey, if I ever do want a perfect, pristine version trapped in plastic, I'll just make Brian give us a massive multi-generational discount on one of his! Since it's officially staying raw in capsule and never getting sent off to the grading game, I'd love to hear from the community: looking at the photos. I like to get an average poll from everyone here .. Soooo.what grade do you guys really think it is? |
