Broadstruck 1989-P Jeff Nickel - Opinions, Please

I bought this back in 1989 and now want to sell it. My question is should I get it graded first by ANACS before putting it on the Bay? Looking at it with a 10x loupe, it has no scratches or gouges.

When I compare it to current and closed listings on the Bay, mine seems to be more broad struck with dramatic stretching of all the edge lettering. Your opinions and suggestions are welcomed as always.

Here's some photos, although it looks better in hand:

Hi Bob-

I would not have it graded as I don't think you will get your money back from the grading fee and s/h/i. The coin appears to be an AU-58 from the images. I would just put it up on eBay with nice images and let the bidders have at it. Good luck.

I agree with Lane, the retail value of that error is less than the cost to certify it, especially at PCGS.

Is ANACS still slabbing errors? Or is ICG the place to go to now?

Thanks, guys. I didn't think it was worth it, but I never like to assume anything anymore. Always check with the experts here!

Regarding ANACS, this is from their new web site and grading services:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Variety/Attribution/Error Verification

$5 per coin

ANACS verifies the variety, attribution or error you designate. If you are wrong, ANACS will correct it for an additional $5/coin.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Cheers!

I think that $5 is in addition to the regular grading fee of $16 for a single 15 day submission.

Not worth grading.

It is.
