Being the "Small Motto" I'd say yes - very pricy in higher grades.

Send this one out for grading.

Known for weak strikes this coin has a wonderful reverse, I'm left wondering what's going on @ 9k on the obverse...if the grader feels this is circulated then AU-58, if MS I'm in at 64 (depending on that 9k area)....should be graded
Lovely coin your grand father left you

First impression was MS-63 RB, but I'm wondering about IT in UNITED. Looks like possible damage. Hopefully a filled die or other as-struck feature. How does this area appear in-hand, with magnification?

Thanks Jaobler when in hand and under magnification, they just seem a little more worn, but not to the degree the picture shows, they look more like the S in STATES.
