Will this grade??? Before I spend $$$ I would like to have some opinions

tonedase

this coin came out of a small framed set of coins...it was in a frame for quite a while...is it worth sending to NGC and maybe get a star, or send it in to PCGS....thanks ahead of time for any comments I may get

I would be surprised to see it in a holder.

I don't think the toning would keep it from gradeing.
I have seen many Kennedy halves in top holders that were alot more questionable than that.

Toning looks okay (NT/MA) to me.

Has it been cleaned though? Could just be the lighting, but it had that unnatural looking sheen to it.

just send it to me, i will send you a white one ! pcgs

That was my concern too. The color looks nice but I can't tell much else from those pics.
Spots on the reverse look almost like PVC damage.

From experience those put-together framed sets very, very often have harshly cleaned coins in them.

Hi..I have never cleaned this item, I took it out of a small framed set call "Strange But True" which detailed the Lincoln and Kennedy strange life issues....I got this set so many years ago I cannot remember when...its been on my wall that long...

It could- my bigger concern is the look of a film that looks to be pvc- but it just could be the lighting

tonedase

To take the pics I used a old floppy disc Sony FD Mavica Camera, back in the day this took great pics, I am sure and know there are better camera out there, but I know how to work this one...I did not use much lighting except under a desk lamp where the light was not directly on the coin...

Ditto

Staircoins

Definitely looks like PVC on the reverse. Also plenty of hits on both sides, and can't tell if it's been cleaned or not from those pics.

Probably needs an acetone bath, whether you send it in or not.

coinkat

no

Not unless you like to gamble and pay tuition.

CoinDogs

ITs only a few buck down and a bunch of buck up got for it but i doubt it holders

tonedase

63 or 64.

crazyhounddog

I'm on the fence with this one...

tonedase

Virtually certain it will not grade. Colors like that come from artificial means.

Elcontador

Not my series, so I won't comment on the colors. A harsh cleaning is easy to spot on any coin, especially if it's uncirculated. Look for a lot of small parallel little hairlines that will be obvious to see when you rotate the coin in your hand. If you see this, don't bother to send it in. PCGS and NGC will bag virtually any harshly cleaned coin.

raycyca

The coin IS NT. NGC will grade it 64 star. PCGS also 64, no star. Will look nice in holder and you can hold it. When for sale, there are some camera whizzes that will make the coin really appealing. No PVC damage there. Have several like it. ALL graded between MS 63-66. Good luck!

tonedase decided not to submit for slabbing , shipped to me and i gave it a acetone dip to remove what looked like some kind of adhesive. i think it came out looking pretty good , what do you think ?

lkeigwin

Acetone is exactly what I was going to suggest.

It looks much improved and I think it will grade.
