Should I get this 1954 D Jefferson Nickel graded?

Would it be worth getting graded even though it doesn’t have full steps?

Looks 65/65+ max.
So I would save grading fees and sell as is.
Looks like a nicer one but I'd save your money

@Matt1701 The nickel would have to grade 66 or higher to make it cost effective. But, if cost is not a factor do as your heart desires.
Link is the latest realized auctions that this forum’s host has listed for that type of nickel.

Edit to add: Estimated total shipping, insurance, and grading fees is about $50 give or take. So your heart must really desire to pay this amount for this coin.
NO!

No grading necessary. Too many marks on the rim. In addition, there is no need to wear cotton gloves for coins like that. Personally, I find gloves to be uncomfortable, period. I have handled some very expensive raw coins and I try to be careful and use common sense when I hold them. In other words, over a felt tray with no liquids or food in the area, among other things.
Since no one has typed it this way - nO.

Thanks for the replies.
It would not be a good investment.... The fees far outweigh any numismatic value. Cheers, RickO
If the OP paid for having that coin "graded," he would be under water by about $30.
Very disappointing that anyone would contemplate wasting that much money on a very common nickel.
YES!
Just kidding. No.
I'll bet you can monitor eBay and probably pick up a few graded Jeffersons real cheap to use as training tools as you search for premium raw examples.
I don't claim to be an expert grader or even an amateur one, but I know that for most moderns there is no way grading is a viable option. They have to be the best of the best.
Thanks man, I need to get better at discerning better grade coins.
You could probably pick one up already in PCGS plastic for a nominal amount...
