So some time ago I got this coin for extremely cheap since the price tag was wrong but the coin dealer was nice. ;) I was wondering what was the grade of this coin and wether or not I should send it to be proffesionally graded. Thanks. Also, I acctually think it has a die Crack! See last pic! All scratches are on the holder, not coin.

That's a very nice coin. It looks UNC to my eyes.

Thanks, so Should I send it off to grading or not? Also, what would be the cost of this coin?

It doesn't appear to be very valuable according to Krause:

Having said that, I would be proud to have a coin like that in my collection.

With snowman--I like it too, but for some reason the value on these isn't much above BV.
I'm not sure if the TPGs would grade with any accuracy, as I doubt they're knowledgeable on these.
I have a lot of nice Tsarist Finland coins that I just keep w/o grading.

Beautiful coin, I agree it is UNC. At least MS-63.

$3 for this coin is too little, Krause is erring on the side of caution, but not by extremes. You would probably get $5 for it here. Very nice coin, but pretty common even in high grade. In fact, I have yet to see a really worn exemplar. I suspect these weren't much used - being made directly before the Russian revolution.
