Thank You. Any idea of Value? Be a shame to redeem it even with the flaw, feel it should be be worth more than face value.
It would be sweet if you still got this graded through PCGS- I imagine that it would still grade pretty decent even dispite this gouge as the coin still has great luster and eye appeal it seems even though I see a tiny amount of toning and some really small milk spots. The back is also in great condition and the holo appears to be placed on very well and centered and little to no damage. You could perhaps have it sold in auction with someone's help and just place a reserve price on it that would seem reasonable I guess. As far as the value you could get for something like that its hard to say.
It might not receive a traditional grade due to the gouge on the front. They would slab it with a "UNC" grade of 95
I had this happen to one of the Casascius 10 btc redeemed coins I had sent in for the winner of that auction
