There are 33 Newcomb varieties listed on the PCGS website! Try to figure out which one you have. Then look at the price for that particular one. If it is less than $100 for an XF, I would not waste money getting it slabbed.

Here is the PCGS website:

And they probably charge extra to ID which Newcomb you have.

Arrrrr there Matey !! I agree with there CaptJohn2 on that . Nice Coin though . If it Grades a AU than it may be worth it but it won't be profitable .It would be for your own enjoyment of having it Graded and slabbed .
Good Luck , Keep us in the loop as to how it goes .
