1944 walking liberty mint mark D grade? 0

[Basinger68]

I have a 1944 walking liberty mint mark D, was just curious as to what anyone thinks it would grade around before I thought about sending off, to me it seems to have a lot more detail than most I’ve seen, therefore I figured I would ask people way more knowledgeable about this than myself which be a very new coin collector. So what I’m asking is does anyone think I should even have it graded?

Looks likes an AU slider, likely details graded from being cleaned with hairline scratches from that, like to the right of Liberty and below the eagle.  It also has a off appearance, likely from the cleaning.

And it's definitely not worth it to have it graded as the cost for that would exceed the value of the coin, so you would lose money.

Welcome to the forum.

Someone abrasively cleaned this coin, ruining its numismatic value. It would not be worth the cost of having it graded.

Ok that’s what I was looking for I appreciate the time thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I immediately noticed the scratches on this coin on both sides and figure that is from a poor cleaning job. Being this coin is at the end of the series which ended in 1947, with its mintage number of 9,769,000, even specimens that grade solid at MS 64 are only worth about $60-65 depending on overall eye appeal. I am also leaning that it would get AU details and for its present condition, you would most surely lose money on having it graded.
