Lynn please read Earle42's comments on professional grading in the the following thread. it will help you learn that slabbing coins should be left to those who are more knowledgeable as the costs of doing so will nullify and value on most coins

I'm dont collect commemoratives but on these I understand the ticks we see on the the chin/jaw area could be from the the die and not post mint. it looks like most of the luster is still present. the reverse photo is a little out of focus but the coin looks MS ,maybe MS63 or 64. these coins do not have a lot of value. maybe $15. bottom line it is not worth grading.

i am glad to see you posted here for opinions first. some folks learn the hard way

The coin appears at best low MS and as such the expense of grading will be more than the coin is worth. Save you grading money and enjoy the coin as is.

I agree, there are too many marks on the coin (devices and fields) to justify the expense of professional third-party grading ( TPG). I suggest enjoying it "as is."

Super appreciate the input! I've been collecting about a year now, I have almost 1,000 coins and I've typically been against grading but I know virtually nothing about commem halves. Just picked it up with a trade $ and figured some people would know better than me! NGC themselves pointed me to this forum :P
