Was thinking about sending this coin out to PCGS for grading.


Would appreciate your thoughts.

Pulled this CRH, was surprised!

It is not worth the grading fee and most certainly not a proof. But

I think I see a fingerprint on it.
Can you post a picture of the reverse?

Welcome to CC!

Your coin is not a proof. It's a common mint state 1942 and not worth paying to have graded. It looks to be MS-63/64 at best, these sell for like $5 in a PCGS slab. I would not submit unless I was positive it was MS-67, which sell for a couple hundred bucks.

I don't think it's worth getting graded unless you have a free voucher and hope for a 67 or better. The fingerprint is unfortunate.

However, that's an awesome roll find!

,noticed the fingerprint right off and when looking closer at reverse has nicks and further mishandling. Its a definite MS coin, great for a roll find but 63 may be too high, unsure of slight wear, color of edge? I'd be happy to find one like it.
Rest in Peace

Great find for CRH. Mint state but not uncirculated . As stated above it is not a proof .

It looks like a MS 63 at best. It is worth hardly 1/10 of the grading fee.

MS-64RD, not worth paying the TPG fees.
