TheHybrid New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 10:48 am Hello everyone, I joined this community last night after coming across a coin that I have had for a while. It's a 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar coin in perfect condition - my question to all of you helpful people, how do I go about getting it graded? TIA Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 10:55 am your coin cannot be graded without better photos 1. remove coin from holder 2. turn off flash 3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day and rotate coin so that is straight 4. move phone about 3in from coin 5. zoom in using you fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the viewer 6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin at that distance and lay phone on top. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 11:41 am In order for a coin to be worth the expense in slabbing it needs a retail value after slabbing of $100-$150. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 12:53 pm much better photos. what we are not seeing here is original luster so one of two things occurred. either someone dipped it and removed the original surfaces or the coin had some light circulation as its has little if any marks on it. there does appear to be finger/palm print around DOLLAR. looks like very light wear on the hair, forehead, cheek and jaw so I'm going with AU58 you have what looks like a type 4 silver coin. in order to be slab worthy the coin would need to be MS68 so save your $$ Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187582 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 2:50 pm This is a proof strike, worth about $32 in PR-69 (assuming it graded that high). I do not think it would be worth the fees to get it graded. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...e-dcam/97434 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 08:05 am big difference in photos. in fact the original photos made this coin look like a business strike vs a proof strike. I'm still seeing some signs of light circulation on the areas I noted above. PF58 impaired Report this Post to the Staff
