I am leaning towards certification, I have worse in holders. I have a few coins like this, nice, but damaged or scratched and I have always wondered if it is worth the cost to have them graded. Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

If this coin was a rare or scarce variety, it would likely be worth paying the certification fee. As an avid collector of counterstamped coins, damaged/details pieces, there's but a small percentage that warrant the expense of certification. Report this Post to the Staff
