As far as certifying, it certainly is easier to sell a slabbed coin, especially gold coins due to possible counterfeits that exist. Good luck, not sure if you should have posted this on the Coin Forum vs Buy/Sell forum? Oh, and welcome!
if you're 100% sure it is real, not worth grading
if you're not 100% sure it is real, get it graded
the grade won't add much value to it...it looks like a common AU+/low UNC $20 gold. If you just want to sell, should be able to unload quickly once it is checked out

PCGS price guide puts it in the $2,100 price range, and I'm guessing it's an AU something (AU55)?

Nice piece...
1898 S... Maybe MS61
Yea, this is the buy/ sell forum, try postal it on the u.s coin forum
No.
I like it. Definitely worth grading. Maybe a 62?

Personally, since I am not knowlegable in detecting counterfeit gold, I would not buy a pre 1933 gold coin without it being certified.
I’d buy it as real. I wouldn’t buy it from a new guy.
Weak "S" matte finish, horrible motto ie irregular letters. Then of course what do I know?
@JimTyler, I made the same mistake of doing that and got $230 stolen from me. That’s a wise choice 👌.
