Rim damage too excessive for grading?

[Jakeblue]

I really like tthis capped bust, but I am concerned about the rim damage. Do you think it is probably too much to warrant grading?

You should show us the whole coin, but I'd say that it has a 50-50 shot at grading. If it does grade, it will get no more than an MS-60 or 61 if the rest of the coin is an MS-63 or 64.

I think it would grade, but have to question the value of certifying it. It's about a $300 coin, isn't it? At that level, $30 in grading expenses may seem unjustified.

the rim doesn't seem like it will effect the grding too much. to extend on what James said, we'd have to see the whole coin to give ya accurate opinions. i'd only send a coin at a $300 level in if i were planning to put it back on the market.

If those rim bumps are the only issue, it should grade.

I just got one of my Barber Halves back from NGC last week slabbed as "VF Details-Rim Damage". There are four or five tiny rim nicks that are much less noticeable than those on your coin and don't detract all that much from the overall appearance of the coin. But, they are there so I can't complain that it was details graded. I think you'll just have to take your chances.
