I agree the rim bump about "STATES" is enough to make it marginal for grading at best.
I really don't see the logic in this "grading set thing." You should be able to form such a set on your own without spending money needlessly on stuff that is not worth the grading fee.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

If Collectors werent neurotic like me, no dealer would ever make any money. I just would like to have and have made a goal to collect and find a 1922 Peace dollar in every grade from PO1 to MS66 in a PCGS slab. For the grades that do not exist, I will have to submit for grading and find them.
Small to mid-size dealers often have "junk" boxes of slabbed coins. This is where you can find PCGS graded coins to fit your project - and for less than buying a raw coin and having it graded.
A lot of collectors need help with splitting the uncirculated coin hair, but circulated coins should be easy - just follow the ANA grading guide.

Good for You!
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.

I would imagine so. Eagle stuff is all high quality and the guy knows what he is doing. Even if it was PVC which I doubt, it would never be in contact with the coins anyway. https://www.eaglecoinholders.com/osCommerce/catalog/

However, the cost of getting it graded and slabbed by NCG [sic] or PCGS is twice what the coin is worth....
<< <i>No, due to rim/edge damage above "States."
