This belongs to my grandmother, who apparently got it from her mother. I'm wondering if it would be worth having it graded and slabbed.

 

 

I might make her a (fair) offer for it as well. What do you guys think? If it's worth grading, how do you think it would score?

Looks to be an AU coin so NO it is not worth it

Hi, Gary! Welcome to the neighborhood. Like Mike said, it's really not worth grading. At most, it's only worth $30 or so, maybe less.

 

If you want something just to protect it, PM me your address and I'll send you an AirTite with an accent ring.

since everyone jumped on the NO bandwagon im going to say it depends on if you are wondering if it is worth slabing for resale or slabbing of a memory.

 

if it is for resale NO , if it is for memory YES

 

my opinion!

[Gary Drumm-migration]

Thanks for the response guys. I'm wasn't really looking at slabbing it for resale, I was actually thinking of adding it to my small but growing collection. Perhaps a "fake" eBay slab would be good just for preservation. Though I must admit, I do love seeing that NGC logo on my coins.

 

I think I'll offer her $35 for it, and see what she says. I'm not reselling it anyway.

 

Thanks again guys.

 

BTW, I turned my Dad on to the site yesterday. He has a bunch of coins he picked up at an estate sale that he'll probably be posting in the next few days. None are slabbed, but they are in flips and coin holders.

Tell your Dad that if the flips are soft and pliable, they probably contain PVC and he should remove the coins immediately.
