1943 Steelie for Grading

Alright, last one for today, what do you think this one would grade?

It has a really nice obverse, and the reverse seems to have some sort of planchet irregularity.

    Carbon spot on the head... Beat up rims. . . I wouldn't do it.

    I'd say a 66 on a good day. Buy a 66 on Ebay for cheaper than grading.

    Not nice enough to warrant the expense of slabbing. The rim roughness is a major negative. This is a very common coin so there is no reason to believe that the graders are going to be kind to it.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I believe it is not worth grading.... Rim roughness and carbon spot... Looks like a minor die crack on the reverse. Buy one already slabbed. Cheers, RickO

    I'm not going to be submitting it, I was just curious what you guys though about it :)

    At first glance it looks nice, then you see the carbon spots and rough rim and toss it into the bargain bin bucket.

    Agree with others - good album coin though. A lot of the steelies you see in BU Lincoln albums are hideously rusted.

    A PCGS graded 67 cost more than grading Fees

    True, I screwed up my 66 value and apparently thought that is what a 67 costs :lol:.
