Wondering if it's worth sending this one in for grading. How would you guys grade it? Thanks.

Not worth sending in unless you think it can hit MS-68. It has a couple hits in the obverse fields, few reverse spots and weakness in STA of STATES.

It only looks to be around 66RD or so.

Here's mine:

MS-64RD couple large hits in the fields hold it back from 65 IMO.

Not slabbed, I wouldn't think about it unless I was sure it could hit 68 (it wouldn't, I graded it 66). Up to MS-67 these aren't worth enough to justify the fees.
