Grade opinions on my 1895 S Morgan and..

Hi all, came in the mail the other day. It was a Ebay BIN with 2 other Morgans( a worn 1892 and a ms63 1885O. Total cost for all three delivered was $60. So I think I didn't do to bad.
Here's a pic of the coin. I was thinking of having it graded because it is a rarer Morgan, and even with the grading fees I don't think I'd lose any money if I wanted to sell. But there's a little hint of green at the bow on the reverse. For a coin in this condition would acetone change the look of the coin if I just q'tipped it on the bow? Or would you do a whole dip. Or just leave it and send it in.
I'm guessing F12 for a grade? Anyone else?
Will the nic on the obv rim keep it out of a holder?
thanks
Tom

    Jeeze, nice wins. Super reasonable, too!
    I have had Morgan's BB'd for similar rim dings.
    But, maybe because of the scarcity of this one, they will allow some slack...
    I'd send it in, if it were mine.

    I don't think it could go over VG. I am not familiar enough with grading companies to comment on whether the nick keeps the coin out of a slab. Very good deal on the three.

    Good-6... because the rims and denticles aren't complete on either side.
    When in doubt, don't.

    That coin wont make Good-6, it might g-4, but I am more inclined to say Ag-3.

    The coin that PCgs had in round three of the grading challenge had considerable more detail and no wear into the rim. I thought it was a good-6, but they graded G-4.

    looks like a G6 to me, however I'm not so sure it will make it in a slab......is there significant rim damage on the bottom of the reverse (hidden by the keyboard)? If the rims are damaged, pcgs will bag it.
  • Wow, awesome deal! I would grade her G04 details/cleaned/retoned/rim damage/net FR02.
