Barber Half Dollar Variety Question 1909-S

I acquired this unattributed variety (inverted mintmark). Is there much of a market for this variety? or a premium? Cherry Pickers has about 50% bump...

Nice pick.
I am unsure of the premium.
Really cool variety.

Small premium if your lucky.

I am trying to decide if I want to pay to have it attributed

In all my experience in this field, and @amwldcoin is one of the few on the boards who has been active in this niche as long or as deeply as me, I have never seen minor varieties garner any real premium. In my opinion, the TPG would love it if you sent it in for attribution and the ultimate buyer may or may not care, but it would be tough to even break even on that deal.

Terrific advice... Thanks so much.
