My 2 cents worth

[whoopig01]

Just wanted to get some opinions on whether to submit this one or just store it away? I know the pics are not great but it is the best I can do. If I submit it what do you think it would grade?

It is hard to say with the pix! I have always had trouble grading 2 cent pieces. AU58 to MS60???

[reid1836]

PR-58 TO PR-62 Coin appears to be a proof in my opinion.

here is the way I look at submitting coins.... you know what about the coin will garde most of the time... plus or minus a point or so... so the only reason to submit it would be for protection or if you plan on selling it....

I think the coin looks ok... I think it is just his lighting... and it will grade MS 63 BN

Just wanted to say thanks for your input. I have an 1866 also and I am going to get both slabbed. I will let you know what they grade when I get them back. Once again thanks for the help.

the new photos do look better and now the coin looks not only original but good eye appeal to boot and also uncirculated

 

keep us informed on what the coin grades

It looks to me like a low-end UNC, say MS-62, and brown. I doubt it would be worth certifying. I've bought similar certified coins for $60 - $80 wholesale. Deduct a $20 charge for certification, mailing fees, gas to drive the post office, etc., and you end up netting $40 - $60 for the coin - is it really worth it .

 

For me, a coin like this has to be worth upwards of $300 for certification to be possibly worth the hassle. I prefer to let someone else deal with the hassles!

I'd say that you have a good chance of getting a 63BN,but it all depends on what that certain grader has been drinking.
