It is actually a scratch. I assume it will come back as UNC details.

Looks like wood. I'd send it in if it were mine for sure. As long as I'm right about the wood  |

If it's going to come back UNC Details it is not worth the submission.

Well, it'll be about a $200 coin in an Uncirculated Details slab. Does the cost of purchase plus slabbing leave you in a position to at least break even?

Personally, I'd take it to a major show and solicit opinions from a few knowledgeable dealers who can wisely respond to the question; this, given a close-up view. Barring that, I'd be hesitant to submit it for reasons of cost-effectiveness.
IMHO, this is a great album coin for a date set. Borderline-choice pieces like this can really help sell a set, full or partial, when the time comes to part with them.

You could just wait until ANACS has another free grading special for 2 coins, and see what they say about it. Will only cost you $21 for return shipping for 2 coins, plus postage to send it to them.

What is your reason for wanting to have it slabbed?

Gotta say that sure looks like a dis crack to me, but if you're certain it's not, then I agree that taking it to a show for opinions is the best next step.

I agree that a coin show is the first best option.

If you're OK with the fee, certainly worth getting slabbed

I bought it in a coin show for my son. I collect foreign coins while my 11 years old collect US coins. He wants to get it slabbed and that's why I am considering it. |
