Should I have this coin graded
I'm new here and new to collecting coins. I just bought my first coin, didn't spend a ton for it but I'm not sure if I should pay to have this graded or leave it as is. My biggest concern is to whether it may have been cleaned at some point in time. I don't know if the image I took shows the coin well or not but I'll post it here and if you have an opinion please let me know. Thanks so much hope to learn a lot here

Re: Should I have this coin graded
Hard to tell in these images and behind plastic but these need to grade about MS64 to be worth grading. So I don't recommend that unless you were thinking ANACS.

Re: Should I have this coin graded
I was gonna grab a plastic holder today should I take a few pics when it's out. I have no clue how to tell the difference between the various ms grades but trying to read. Although I have a descent smartphone camera I still get artifacts on the image that aren't present on the coin.

Re: Should I have this coin graded
Even if it isn't cleaned it is still too common to send off for grading. Submitting coins cost and a coin like this in MS can fetch around $50 so it is not recommended.

Re: Should I have this coin graded
I have to agree with Daniel here.
With this 1907 date, the only way I would have the coin "graded", or, as I like to call it "encapsulated",...
:eureka:
The only way I would pay a "FEE", is if the coin were an EDS (Early Die State) & RPD (Re –Punched Date) that came in at a 64+.
In case you haven't read:
My philosophy on "Coin Grading" is as follows:
1. Authenticity
2. Preservation
3. Variety Attribution
4. Proof Designation
