Mercury Dime 1941/42 what's the right "tier" for grading? 0

[Livio Eleven]

I've got a coin from a collection I inherited. I don't really know how this coin should be valued - somewhere between $1,500 and $10,000+. I want to get it graded, which tier should I select?

Can you post a sharp, full coin image of obverse and reverse?

Here is a short article that might help you.

After members see the full coin photos, they can probably give you a reasonable idea of insurance value. Use this when sending the coin to NGC for authentication and grading. BUT - Chinese and at least one domestic counterfeiter are producing highly deceptive fakes, so collect opinions before sending it off.

Not the best photos but my wag grade is AU58 no FB, so the early bird/standard tier is the one I would use, that tier is for coins valued from $300 up to 3K.  Even if I'm off and it grades low MS say 62-63 it would still fall into the same tier as those sell for around 3K.  To get to 10K you would need it to grade MS66, and from your photos I see no chance of that.

Looks like it might have some PVC on it.

A coin sent in for grading needs a tier? Wouldn't the grading evaluate the coin to the correct tier? Asking for a friend,

    I sent my coins in as mint error inspection....what do I know....short answer, not much.

My guess is that it's AU - nice for that coin!  Pick your tier based on your own opinion of what an AU is worth.
