XF45, cleaned Since this is a key date it's far more likely to straight grade. Nice VAM to boot! Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

@paralyse (and others) - Do you think a particular TPG (other than ICG) would be more likely to give it a straight grade than others? I also believe it's been cleaned, btw. It's not bad overall, but the cheek does seem to show it in my opinion. |

I would not send anywhere but PCGS. If it comes back details I would send it to NGC. You need to be in a top tier holder to maximize value. I don't know enough to recommend CACG. I have used Heritage and other large, high volume dealers to submit coins for grading. You may need a relationship and there will be an expectation that you will use their other services down the road.
Also the large dealers also gave me their opinion of where they think coins will grade, without a guarantee, but they have been fairly accurate in their assessments before submission.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

CACG is a lost cause until they pick one business or the other - just my opinion.

CACG - You can only submit if you are a member or through a CAC dealer. CACG is currently grading very tight. The coin would detail from the cleaning or scratch.
PCGS or NGC would both be a good choice to have a key date holdered. My personal choice would be PCGS. I have submitted to both PCGS and NGC, and they grade about the same. If you could get a straight grade out of PCGS that would be a big win as there is a little more up side on resale.
I would not put a Morgan key date into ANACS or ICG.

I would give it an acetone bath. I do for most of my coins and has not details a coin that I have sent in. This coin appears to be cleaned at one time, but as others have said sometimes key dates get a little more leeway.

Here's a blast from the past for everyone. I finally sent it in to PCGS and here's the result:  |

Decent TruView's there. I think this one could have gone either way. I do agree it has an old cleaning, but very close to market acceptable.
