Worth getting graded/slabbed?

I came across a 1964 Denver Kennedy half dollar TDO while roll hunting. Any opinions on whether or not this would grade high enough to make it worth sending in would be appreciated

Nice find.
I would not.
Agree, very nice find.
What do raw examples sell for?
What do slabbed examples sell for?
What would it cost to get this example slabbed?
I have never had an error coin graded, so I don't know the cost at this time. The highest sale I have seen was $4400 for a PCGS MS66. Raw examples I have seen on Ebay sold items were around $54.00, but were in mich worse condition.
If I were to keep it, I would slab it. Looks QDO to me but just out of curiosity, I would want an expert to judge it and have it on the label. Populations for these are fairly low. Looks at least MS64.

I would have it graded. Having the coin certified will confirm it as having a Quadrupled Die Obverse but also protects the coin, so its value is retained.
Get it graded
Nice find!

Its not an error coin. Its a variety. Nice find by the way. Im not familiar with the pricing or the demand for these. Grading will do 2 things for you it will help protect the coin and will make it easier to sell if that day should ever come.

@OAKSTAR FS 103 is not a match to his coin, look at FS 105

I’d get it graded for sure. Pics of the overall coin don’t look half bad at all, from what I can make out.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
FS-105 is a QDO not a TDO.

I know this is the website but which image are you comparing to the OP's image?

Heritage has sold a couple dozen. It looks to me that the values are minimal below MS-66. Yours looks pretty nice. It's a gamble.

GreatCollections has an auction archive too.
FS-103 in 65 only netted $37 in February 2024.
FS-105 did better, at $100 for an MS64 recently.
I will let more experienced folks here decide which one it is!

Unless one just wants their variety piece officially identified, graded with a number, and encased in plastic to protect it from mishandling, TPG slabbing the piece that the "market" values under $100 is kind of a wash, in my opinion.
