Worth grading ?

[VanArippa]

I've never had anything graded.

Worth grading?  Put it next to an old silver coin for contrast. 

Any thoughts? Thanks

That was a stupid question. I apologize.

Not really. People have coins slabbed for many reasons, some of which might seem odd or different or a waste of money to other people. I have seen other coins in slabs that were graded simply because they were colorful like yours. Everyone has different reasons for doing things, and,in this case, there really is no right or wrong. I would leave it in the Airtite, if it were mine, but you do what you like.

BTW, that '56 looks like a proof.

For what it is worth, I have never had anything graded, either.

Don't apologize.....it was far from a stupid question!  We all have to learn the ins and outs of the hobby somehow.  It's better to ask, if you genuinely want to learn, than it is not to.

I have had a few things graded that "were'nt worth grading".  In fact, just this month, I submitted the Apollo 11 Half Dollar and related reverse proof Kennedy Half for grading.  I think it is probably not worth it, but I just keep fingers crossed the coins grade as 70's.  Most of the time its just less expensive to find the coin you want slabbed, already slabbed for you.
