Welcome to the forum. 

If it were mine, I think I would have it authenticated for my peace of mind. I am not sure if the Chinese have started faking these yet, but I would rather be safe than sorry. As far as grade goes, it probably wouldn't matter much on a piece this scarce. (On the Pollock scale, a Rarity 5 is 31-75 pieces known to exist.) Trying to put a value on it, however, may be tricky. It depends on who is in the market for a piece like that at the time it is sold. It could sell for several hundred, or several thousand.

thank you for the insight. That all makes sense to me. Definitely has some cool local history behind it. It does seem to be in fairly good condition since it was stored in a velvet case. I dont know how long we have had it, at least over 20 years I believe so it may be genuine

Is this worth having sent in for grading? Havn't found much else about it or if they are popular. Live close to where it was originally pressed in Warren MI. Saw one sold for over $1000 but I am not qualified to compare the 2
