Is this worth slabbing?

What would you grade it?

Looks to be a nice clean looking coin. Grade is hard to say due to small photos....Ken

I dont think I would submit it unless u want to use it on the registry. Its a nice coin but raw or slabbed doesnt seem to matter as much with these guys in circ IMO.

I know nothing about these guys, but it looks quite nice to me. I do think I see a little bit of rub on the reverse, but it could just be me. The fields look very clear, though. I think this is going to be one of those ones where it is either an extremely nice AU58 or a MS63. I sure wish I knew more about copper...

Looks AU, so worth what? maybe $200. Slabbing is $30, 15% of the coin's value. Doesn't seem worth it to me.

joecool

Yes, looks like it might grade AU......

Looks to be a very nice coin. If and I say IF cleaned by an expert it
will probably be AU 50. Anyone who is not a copper expert will ruin
the coin for sure. Getting very scarce in high grade, meaning XF or better.

That's gotta be better than a 50. Looks 55-58 to me.

Worth slabbing? Yeah, I'd say so, if the fees don't bring your total investment in the coin above its retail value.

Looks like a strong XF45 or maybe AU50. There are two perspectives to look at if you want to slab. The dealers perspective would be not to slab it. The minimal amount the coins value would increase with slabbing would not be worht your while. As a collector I would say yes have it slabbed. To have a nice coin like this in a protective holder and profesionally graded would be an excellent addition to a collection.

strong 50 maybe 55, a nice coin, slab?, no not me, but I'm an album guy.

Technically it looks like a VERY solid XF-45 to me, but I bet it will go AU-50 to AU-55 if you submit. ANACS will probably be hardest on it, and NGC might give you a 53/55; betting 50/53 with PCGS.

Assuming no cleaning the coin has excellent eye appeal.

I like it.

AU. Nice coin. Should be worth slabbing but it is probably very saleable just as it is. It would be a great coin for people who use albums.
