Storm77 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/21/2019 3:25 pm Just wondering if it is worth grading. I've collected coins my whole life but never been a diehard collector. But recently I have been getting more into it. To me it looks like a proof with some very fine scratches, it needs to be professionally cleaned. I don't know how the pictures will turn out the raised parts are matte (like an s proof) and the background is mirror like. Pics are in 3 different lights, maybe this helps Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/21/2019 4:08 pm It is a proof, but the scrape lines, possibly from a buffing, make it into.a impaired proof. Which means it wouldn't qualify to be numerically graded. It's still a bright coin and worth saving, but the value would be close to the silver melt value. Melt value today is $6.20.
