Thank you....My Dad found that one about 50 years ago I would say. Now if I could just get some opinions on what grade it might be. I am gonna send it off to be graded I am just not sure what company would be willing to grade it with the scratches. I am sure it would come back with details note, but does everyone do any kind of coin. I have never sent any of my Dad's coins out or any coins for that matter. My two kids and I just found this hobby a few months ago when they discovered all the coins I had squirreled away from my Dad and some my husbands mom gave us. So now we are all hooked. lol

Not an expert on this series, but I see what looks like a full leg. I think this coin might have been altered to pass as a 3 1/2 leg. I would grade it at F-15.

Echizento, I don't know, I know it has been away since the late 40's or 50's. when did people start altering stuff like this. I had Bill from Found in Rolls look at it and he seems to think its legit. He said according to CPG it fit all the criteria. I guess I will never know unless I send it out. I hope you are wrong, but one never knows. thank you

I hope it is legit. If it was mine I would have it evaluated and slabbed.

I am going to have it done. I have this fear of sending it anywhere. lol I am probably being silly. Will any grading company do it with the scratches? Could it just come back ungradeable? I just don't know who to send it to yet.

I know Anacs will grade the variety and put ut in a Details holder and you can send it in yourself without a membership or anything like that as for NGC or PCGS I have never sent anything to them myself. Always had my dealer do it for me.

I posted a reply to this a while ago but it didn't show up so I am gonna try again. I sent my coin out to ANACS and it came back today. It was authenticated and graded as F15, scratched. So now comes the fun part....what to do with it. I am going to sell it, just trying to figure out the best route to do so. I am happy that it was not a fake of course and I am not sure how the grading will affect the interest in the coin. It is listed for $2000 in this grade in Coin Prices magazine, but that is without the scratches. How can I determine what I should figure it is really worth?
edit: that should say that it says F15 Details

Damaged coins (scratched, cleaned, or otherwise) alomost always drop the value by at least 50%. I would say in an auction like ebay you could expect to get $800-$900 for it. I would of graded it F-12 still an interesting coin that many collectors will want for their collections. |

Congrats and super coin!  I zoomed to 400% and it looks good to me. I would say without the scratches easily F-12 maybe even F-15 but they are obvious. I would figure the net value to be VG-10 ish since it is a great coin to have and a rare coin in demand. If it were a 4 legger of the same date, I think it would be valued at VG-8 money-wise. Like others have said, it would probably end up being graded as 1936 D 3 1/2 legged F-12 with notation "Scratched" on the slab. Edited by TNG
