I can understand if you thought it may get an ms65 or higher, but with that 'scarface' gash across the face, who in their right mind would pay for grading? It graded ms63 at NGC (1963 50c).  |

That would be my guess too. Sentimental value. Slabbed for protection.

Probably needed to fill a certain amount of coins for the order. He had 9 and this was a 10th one needed for a promotion or something ,or sentimental value

Probably part of a large dealer bulk submission. Sent in a whole roll or rolls to be graded.

Why would anyone send ANY 1963 50 cent in to a TPG? The thing is that many new collectors seem to think that you have to send every coin in to a TPG to get a grade for the collection. I guess people just don't know how to grade any more to fill in holes. And how that coin could get a 63 is beyond me. |

I would guess it got a 63 because those "scars" were deemed to be bag marks. As far as grading everything, from an online dealer perspective (and although many people still buy "the coin"), it sets a relative price base for what we sell. That along with decent pictures makes the transactions more secure for many people. Also, I recently sent a mint (bank) roll of 1966 50 cent pieces to ICCS. The breakdown was 1 x 63, 13 x 64, 4 x 65, 2 x 66 with a few cam and ucam thrown in. I would never be able to materialize MS65/66 pricing trying to sell these coins raw online. Very few collectors could fairly distinguish a 65 from a 66 in an online picture. Sometimes coins are sent it just because someone is doing a run (although probably not in this case). I would say no different than collectors doing registry sets.

CoinHunter - Great input. So how are the results of the '66 roll working out for you financially?  |

I'm going to say it got a 63 because of the cloudiness on the lower part of the obverse.
I've seen a 1953 US nickel in F-12 slabbed before.

not sure what's worse,
the person who sent it in or the person who actually slabbed it instead of body bagging it.

I agree with jdiablo30 probably need to make up a total..  @ GR58, it's a fifty cents not .25  I just sent in my 10 notes on BCS summer special and had to send in a couple just to make the deal they had on.  |

The 65s sell in the $50 range and the two 66s unknown but I would think in this market around 30%-40% of coinsandcanada estimates. Initial investment included grading was around $240.00 so in this case I'm ahead of the game. However disassembling common date original silver rolls is always risky and doesn't always work out. |
