jyelton12 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 5:22 pm Hey, I can't seem to find a source for grading The Stone Mountain Commemorative. Can you take a look at the one below and let me know the grade in your opinion and why? I am wondering if I should submit this coin for grading. Report this Post to the Staff

IGE had great answers on the grading of this coin. Put up another picture of the reverse from a tilted angle. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15598 Posts	Posted 01/12/2019 2:29 pm This is a seriously common classic silver commemorative - albeit most of the remaining examples are not as lovely as your likely AU55/58 coins. The rub on the high points is noted above - and do indeed concur this is a visually attractive example of a well beloved coin. Quote: I am wondering if I should submit this coin for grading. That depends entirely on you and your collecting objective. It makes no financial sense given the TPG grading costs versus the coins market value - but that has never stopped anyone who had other objectives. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Makes it easier to liquidate, too. Hope they notice! Report this Post to the Staff
