   This coin was in the local shop this week: How do you think it would grade? The owner wanted to raise some money and was told that to get full value with an offer it would have to get graded first.

   Not all coin dealers are heavy or even regular submitters. Then you have to factor in the time delay and added cost.

   Very nice! Looks genuine to me too and I like it at 58... let us know how it turns out if it gets submitted.

   The mint mark looks too strong, need to go with certification, I agree with most that, if genuine, it is probably an AU58 wingtip shows too much wear.

   The back story on this coin was that the guy said his grandfather had left the coin in an armoire and he had it and was looking to raise some money. They sent pics to one of their "experts" who believed it to be real and offered $1500 for it ungraded. The guy walked out, may have offered it to someone else.

   The OP said he saw it in a coin shop so I assume it was for sale. Typically, a coin dealer would get an expensive key date coin such as this one slabbed to make it easier to sell and to maximize his profit.

    I’ve been out of the Indian game for a bit but I also say genuine and 58ish. Don’t see it going ms but you never know. I have two weak d’s, but no strong. Nice coin!
