Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Alex Molden [Precious Metal Gems] #170 sells for $825 against $125 raw: a $700 spread, 6.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($750) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
