1954 DDO Proof Roosevelt...2 questions

in U.S. Coin Forum
1. Is this variety worth the cost of grading. I put it at a 65 and the price guide has it at $220. In the "real world" is this realistic if it's does indeed grade at 65?
2. If I do send it in using the coin's #5243, the order form auto populates the coin as 1954 DDO FS-101. Will there still be an additional charge for attribution? I'm not being given an option for attribution on the online submission form.

Thanks, Bill

    Even with my D90, my coin pics leave a lot to the imagination....
    Are you curious as to it really being the DDO or condition?

    I'm going to give it a shot.
    It is definitly the DDO as per the CPG and I had a former grader for ANACS, now dealer, take a look a couple of years ago to confirm.
    I'll post a pic if I can get a decent one a little later. Thanks much

    I've been cherrypicking these for years - they are pretty easy to find. As a result, they don't command much premium in the marketplace. I slabbed a couple nice toned pieces, but have left the rest raw.

    The CPG itself lists the normal proof at $26 in PR65 and the variety at $35. Not really worth the grading/attribution fees IMHO as you have to pay extra for the attribution. A price of $220 for a PF 65 is pretty spendy when you can still find them in sets.

    Cameonut, thanks a bunch for the info; that's kinda what I suspected and am really glad I asked before sending this off. I appreciate the help.
