shadesony New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 11:50 pm I have this good friend who's dad died and left him a rather large coin collection. (all raw coins) He wanted nothing to do with it and sold me the collection for it's "melt" value, with the agreement if anything rare or expensive was found and graded, we would split the difference. Being new to coin collecting (<5 years) I figured I could get some advice as to grade and if a coin is worth slabbing or not. First coin I decided to go with is a 1909 Barber Half in what appears to be AU/low MS grade. Fluorescent Lighting vs LED Lighting and a video to show luster. Looks really nice in hand, but it might have some rim issues, gouge near liberty's ear... What are your thoughts, is this coin worth sending to a TPG? 8jGW3oMHlXI Edited by shadesony 07/01/2021 11:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 01:49 am Agreed. Unc Details, rim damage. What a shame. If it were me, I wouldn't rush to sent it in for grading, but if you can find 5-10 + others to send off worth grading, I'd probably add this to the list. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 10:01 am MS details, scratches and rim bumps. Not a candidate for TPG. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 10:13 am i have to agree UNC details. the reverse is showing what appears very light circulation wear so AU might be an option Report this Post to the Staff
