The price curve is very steep, so I would lean toward having it graded if you want to sell it.
Numismedia for 1945-S micro S
MS64FB - $192
MS65FB - $670
MS66FB - $1,220
Your coin might carry a bit of a premium over another of a similar grade because its periphery is also better struck than an average '45-S.

That's really helpful captain, I appreciate your time. I'll definitely take the condition of its periphery when selling the coin. thanks.

I agree with captianfwiffo on the grade, MS-65 FB maybe a 66 FB. Nice coin!

Keep one thing in mind, Opne. This is a wonderfully-struck coin, with vanishingly few detracting marks. Your images are quite good enough to make this clear. What your images are not, and the same could be said of even the very finest photos posted online, is definitive of that tiny difference between "circulated for a week or two" and "never circulated at all." When I made my first post in this thread, I naturally assumed the coin was Mint State. Given that your dealer considered it to have even the slightest circulation gives pause. I could never tell from these images, one way or another. That doesn't mean the dealer is right. You have to make that decision, looking at the coin in your own hands. Especially with something as small as a Merc, that's the only way to know. Me? Even knowing what the dealer said, I'd probably risk the money on submitting. The upside is staggering.  |

thanks for your opinions everybody, I'm on the way to submit my coin as I write this. fingers crossed! as mentioned before I will post the pcgs grade when I receive them. again, many thanks!
edit: just got back from the dealer's. he said that, in his opinion, it is not an fb merc and will therefore not grade and list it.
-
are there any other alternatives to getting your coin graded? or will I have to sign up for pcgs? I know the membership is fairly cheap but as a college student I'm trying to save when possible.
-
also, I'm unexplicitly attracted to pcgs and would prefer to get the coin graded by them specifically.
again, thanks.

thanks for the welcome!
so far, it seems everyone agrees that the coin has full bands. does anybody think otherwise? if so, why? sorry for the questions, I was confident about this coin until this evening when I was turned down by the dealer~

Great looking coin indeed! Quote:

Find another local dealer willing to submit it for you and pay their fees. 2. Join PCGS yourself and pay the entry fee. 3. Ask a CCF family member with PCGS privileges to do this for you ... and likely the same cost as a dealer submission. Looking forward to the PCGS answer ... this appears to be a lovely coin.

David, would you also classify this coin as FB?
thanks for the tips - I'm interested in the third option. forgive the suspicion but I'm afraid of tampering. are there well known, trusted users I can contact?
also, should I send this coin using the secure plus program?
edit: again, apologies for the amount of questions. I guess I'm a bit flushed with the opportunity of having such a community at my disposal!

from what I've read on other forums it seems like it doesn't make much difference (in price) whether or not the coin is submitted through pcgs' secure plus program. does anybody have any opinions or experience in this?

I don't see any reason to go for secure plus. There's no suspicion of doctoring or anything.

Opne-
I don't think you'll be able to do much of anything with ccf folks until you get 50 posts.
