If I submitted this for the Quarterly Special, does anybody think it will grade?

Would a Genuine Holder be OK for this coin or would that be silly?
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



The name is LEE!

    I do not think this one will grade. Leave it raw.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    I would enjoy this one raw and find something else to send in for your quarterly

    It would probably grade if it was a few grades lower with that scratch on the reverse. It would grade genuine otherwise.......leave it raw.

    Time was that scratch on the reverse would have been ignored, and it would have made it into a VF holder. Unfortunately that line around the eagle's beak looks intentional, which makes it doubtful for a grade.

    Even if it would grade, one has to ask why grade a $60 coin?
  • I agree, not worth grading and a risk if it will. You could sell it and find a nicer one with not spending that much.
