Kennedy half dollar grading

Hi all - I have subbed cards to PSA hundreds of times but know next to nothing about coins. I have several coins I have done a little research on. Could you possibly steer me in the right direction and let me know if something like this is worth grading?
Thanks so much in advance.

Definitely no
Ok thanks. Is it just the condition or is the coin itself undesirable?
No on the grading,
From what I can see, there is a lot of wear on the raised, rim edge.

Kennedys are my quest...
Over 300 million minted, with a high survival rate.

Ah ok this is all very helpful.
The 1971-P is worth taking a slight risk on GEM+ coins, yet the 71-D really isn't. It has to be MS67 to make it totally worth it.

Ok I will check for 1971 Ps but doubt I have GEMs if that term denotes what it does for cards
The coin needs a soak in acetone to remove the hazing and get a good look at the luster. It is not well struck and you can see how the bottom of the "7" fades into the fields. This will usually preclude a very high grade.
If the coin is very clean (no marking) it might still be worth submission but this is very unlikely.
A lot of these have doubling on the "TRUST" but it still must grade pretty high to submit.
The demand for modern coins is very very tiny and most of the tiny demand is for only the highest grades. Lots of rare moderns aren't worth the cost of submission.
Thanks so much. I am learning a lot!
@Nikklos ... Welcome to coin collecting. I suggest you get a Redbook if you intend to continue in coins. It is a super reference book on all U.S. coins, grades and values. Cheers, RickO
Thanks I will!
