i have the obv at VF35 and reverse closer to VF30. I tend to push these based on the obv grade if its close so i'll give it VF35.
cant get this one to XF thought
as for S/S need a closeup of the MM. my old eyes can't tell from this photo. An XF40 straight graded ANACS one recently sold for $145. there is not enough value to slab this one.
if you are not familiar with grading costs here's a breakdown
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 $22, 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.
CAC - $99 subscription ($50 grading credit), economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins
i don't slab coins for these reasons especially the cost involved. I don't know why this is so popular today. just making the grading companies wealthy
