Not worth grading . The cost of grading is more than the worth of the coin .

Welcome - Daniel's video says it all.

please watch his other videos about sending in coins. Many people mistakenly think a ton of money can be made by having coins graded and then selling them. The only money made from this mindset is by the grading companies.

It takes a long time and a lot of experience to play the gambling game of grading companies for profit. And even then, since its not scientific, the most experienced people cannot predict what the companies will do.

And...break a coin out, send it back to the same company, and you are never guaranteed the same grade again!

Maybe he could revise the value to make it more consistent.
