Hey all, newbie here. I have a 1911 $20 st Gaudens with motto from my collection and I can see it has hairlines on it when I direct it to the right light. I was going to get it graded and heard that sometimes they still get normal graded depending on certain things but I thought I'd ask you fine experts. Looks like it was done with a cloth. Will this get graded anything if not UNC Details cleaned? And will it be worth anything besides market gold weight? Thanks!

Definitely looks harshly cleaned, and it would not straight grade at a TPG. Probably would not add any value by getting it graded (other than authentication).

That coin appears to have been harshly cleaned. IMO having it certified as such by a TPG wouldn't add any value.

It's harshly cleaned, it basically worth the gold value now, it won't get any jump by having it graded.

It wouldn't straight grade due to a harsh clean.
Just worth the metal value
