panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 07:34 am based on what we can see the coin looks MS64 pretty close to 65. if you found this in circulation, congrats as its very difficult to find an MS coin in circulation that grades MS let alone above 63. to find a coin that is worth grading is pretty much nil other than certain varieties we have asked several folks what they see or hear that prompts them to consider slabbing their coins. we have never got an answer. maybe you'll be the first one. for me, its a great way to increase the TPG's revenue. I am glad you posted here first rather than send it in FYI consider the following for having a coin professionally graded two reasons to slab 1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved 2. you are planning on selling the coin and the cost of acquisition plus the grading fee's would warrant it without chewing up all your profit PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which I think for this one might be $23, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000) NGC - economy grading tier is $23, plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins). ANACS grading would be $16 but there's a 5 coin minimum. Shipping would be $29-35. Report this Post to the Staff

I would welcome the OP views on this. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
anttony1981 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 7:57 pm Thank you all for your replies. Let me start by answering your question first. I want to know for sure,(in the case of MS numerical grade), what the grade is because of the potential value of the coin if high. I've seen other coins graded at what I thought would be less based on comparison with another coin of similar date and mint but lower MS grade. Basically a MS69 looked worse than an MS67. So I'm interested to see if this coin would be the same grade as some of the MS67's out there that I've seen which I think look worse than mine. IMO But I'm curious also to ask - do they judge a based on magnification or is it based on what you can see with the naked eye? Because this coin looks great with the naked eye. I really had to do some lighting and angle tricks in order to get the flaws to appear. Report this Post to the Staff

I do believe TPGs look at coins at 5x magnification. Please correct me if I am wrong anyone....... Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 04/16/2024 08:15 am anttony1981. thanks for you comment on our question. from what I'm reading is that most new collectors look at the values of high grade slabbed coins and due to their lack of grading knowledge in grading, attempt to compare that coin thinking it looks just as good, so by submitting them yours would make the grade also and net a tidy profit keep looking but please continue to post them here before you decide to spend the $$ to send them in. the coin you posted here is a nice example and something thats not found often this is just a general comment anttony1981 and not directed to you but to new collectors in general most new collectors have no or very little grading experience. I've seen some that think if the coin is shiny that its worth a lot. a lot of members here own their on LCS or have decades of experience grading and get it wrong. even the TPG's get it wrong. we see examples here all the time of that. the chance of finding a coin in circulation that is worth slabbing is zero. there are a few varieties out there but you could spend your entire life looking for them to find one. I've never found anything of value in circulation after about 1970. Report this Post to the Staff
