1918 Louisiana centennial

[Beachkid23]

First I want to start off by saying happy Father's Day to all you dads out there!! Hope you have a good weekend!

Versions of this coin on eBay have gone around $90 $150 and then one graded went for 475. And everywhere in between. Is it worth getting graded? Or not so much. Is the $500 price target too cheap of a coin to get graded, should I only look for higher value ones?

PS: Grading can actually lower the perceived value of any coin or commemorative.

It is the Illinois Centennial commemorative. I wouldn't get it graded. It would at most receive a low MS grade. And I think that would be pushing it. I would expect an AU-58 grade.

Nice commemorative you have there. Happy Fathers day to you also.....

Id expect a lower grade on it, if it did not come back Cleaned. The look of the coin is all wrong for an authentic finish. I would need to see better pictures of the coin, but it strikes me as an ugly piece.
