    A quick look on ebay shows ms66 graded examples selling for well under $10. What do you feel this one would grade?

    If you want it graded you should get it graded. I wouldn't but I'm not you.

    Unless it's the specific coin you want graded, IMO, I would buy it graded....

    Wow! The new guy jumps right in. :D

    I agree. Let someone else pay the grading fees for a common coin.

    There appears to little upside to have it graded. It is your coin/your fee/ your choice.

  • If it has a cartwheel that won't let u look away have it graded

  • It's a nice looking coin. I'd have it graded. If you ever need to sell it or try to sell it it'll bring more money . That's only my opinion.

    I agree with you if I have a graded it'll be my first coinI've had graded, the one coined the same year that looked just like it sold for $120 at auction , if I have a graded with PCGS which I think is more preferably for everybody most collectors then I think it's like a $50 membership before you can get a coin graded then you got to pay to get your coin graded or something like that not a whole lot of money there, what would be cool to put it in auction and I have three people that really want it

    Financially speaking, the only upside would be if the coin went 67, you would lose on a 66. While the coin looks nice, I really couldn't venture to guess a grade from these photos, but I do see a good amount of chatter on Abe's face, and on the steps of the Lincoln memorial. Something else to consider is that only 19, out of 2.65 Billion, have gotten a 67 from PCGS.

    Membership ("Silver"; lowest cost option with no vouchers) - $69
    Grading Fee ("Economy"; max coin value = $300) - $22
    Handling Fee (Per Submission Form) - $10
    Return Shipping (1-4 coins; $1 - $1,000 Declared Value) - $22

    Total = $123

    Add:
    ~ $5 more if you want Gold Shield, which includes TrueView images.
    ~ your cost to ship to PCGS.
