oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 10/01/2012 4:24 pm Looks like a VF35-XF40...depends on what you want to do with it. I would not buy it raw (no telling if it would receive a details grade(cleaned, altered surfaces, etc...)), if it was problem free slabbed, that would be a different story.

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 10/01/2012 4:29 pm I bought it at melt....so no risk there. Just curious if slabbing it up is the way to go...not for improved value, but just to make resale easier down the road. And let me rephrase that...bought it at melt a few months ago!

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 10/01/2012 4:39 pm That is a better date but it has been cleaned and/or polished reducing it to melt value. It's still a nice pick up at melt though since many would try to sell it as a "scarce date", which it is in Mint State. No need to slab. Just protect and enjoy! P.S. This date can bring $3,000 in MS63! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
slowaltima Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 10/01/2012 4:42 pm I personally wouldn't, but if you are worried about resale value, go ahead with it. If it was a much higher grade, go for it. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 10/01/2012 6:05 pm For the sake of authentication, sure. I certainly would. But it wouldnt be hi on my list of coins to send. Many others I have right now would be in front of that one. Report this Post to the Staff
