Will this coin cross?

OK, I know my pictures are not the best, do you think it will cross to PCGS?

Edit to add 1918 Lincoln half...

Looks like you'll get the same grade....if lucky a bump up one notch!

PS: nice coin!

That's a pretty nasty gash on the cheek....
IMHO, 62 at best

I think it will cross as well. I have to agree with Utah on the gash on the cheek, IMHO it will keep it from bumping up.

I'd guess it would not cross. Aside from the gash, it looks AU.

Depends on the day.
That hit is in a real focal area and could cause the coin to BB.
Remember that the original purpose of having a coin slabbed is sight unseen buying (usually for investment).
If a coin is in a 62 holder it is assumed to be a clean for the grade 62 (ANA grading standards).
This one really isn't.
This is the argument against the trend toward market grading - it defeats the original purpose of having the coin slabbed.
It would be a different matter if the coin were being sold raw and described as a 62 with a hit to the cheek.
I would not want to buy that coin sight unseen without a mention of that hit.

For the AM crowd...

I don't think so.

It depends on which way the wind is blowing. My first cross was my 1923 S dime. I sent it in for crossover, they said it didn't make the grade, so it didn't cross. I broke it out and sent it raw and it gained two points. Go figure... So, like I said it depends on the wind.
