Thinking of sending this one off for grading. I know it's not 70 but it's only S mint mark I have in collection so far. Any input is appreciated   *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! *** |

Simple answer. Don't.
Complicated answer. There are a several reasons why people grade coins. Almost all of those reasons only apply to coins that have a value which can be increased by the grading. This increased value is what justifies the cost of grading. Maybe new collectors don't realize just how expensive it is to get a coin graded. Especially true if you are sending in only a single coin. (The cost of shipping both ways and the submission fee adding to the cost of the grading)

 to CCF! It looks like a previously cleaned VG details coin, and the value would not justify the grading fee. |

 The cost of grading would be about the value of the coin. Just put it in an airtime capsule and keep as is. |

to the CCF. The cost of grading would exceed the value of the coin. |

No need to get this one slabbed.
This isn't a VF coin, which it would need to be minimum to justify grading.

VG-10 details, cleaned. Sending in for grading would be a waste of money.
