I have quite a few coins I want to have graded, I hope at least one is worth sending to get certified. I also don't want to make too many threads so I will try and be conservative. I'm working with ANAGS book so every submission I am going to list what I think what the grade is, and my reason for it. So excuse me if it's wayyyyy off. haha.

Sorry for poor reverse image. Scanner is new and I don't have it on dial yet.


Coin: Martin V. Buren
Denomination: $1
Date: 2008
Mint: P
My Grade Thought: MS67
Concerns: Weak Strike
Pros: Reverse is much nicer.
Thoughts: Gamble. Not worth grading if 66 or lower, since 66 is: $25

I think the dings across the bridge of the nose and on the forehead keep it below MS67. I think that a good rule of thumb that has been retold by many on this forum is not to bother with grading unless your coin will be worth at least $150. Otherwise it's just not worth it.

The average grade on these coins is a 65+ so a grade of anything less than a 70 will not provide any real security for you.
