SPP, that is a good example of what I am talking about! Although the price of the coin is well out of my league to start with so it wouldn't be up for consideration for me, I am at a loss of why this is not deeply discounted to reflect the double problem indicated not just on the label but when you look at the coin itself. Sigh.....

If he takes it out of the holder and leaves it in open air for 2 years it would just be damaged, no one would know it's cleaned.

 Keep in mind he's listed the full trend price of the coin in an auction where you can "make an offer". I don't think he expects an offer over 40% trends for this coin? Knowing the seller, he probably didn't buy it for much to begin with. I don't care how RARE a coin is, it will NEVER be a part of my Collection if it has "any" problems. A chain is only as good as it's weakest link! Glenn  |

He has it for offer, I guess it's worth whatever the last bid is. I agree, I would like to have one but would have a hard time parting with more than 1000. Thats about where I would be on this as well.
It's tragic

Book value- $22,500
Isn't he always about to publish a catalogue of Canadian varieties? Maybe the price is from his own catalogue-to-be,and the price for an unmolested example would include your first-born.
I kind of miss his discussion on this forum.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

ICG, they are a U.S. TPG. Reasonably respected for US coins, similar to ANACS. Generally not considered top tier on Canadian material. They along with ANACS, NGC and PCGS are the TPG's that ebay accepts the grades from on their US site, the other TPG's are considered as Raw Coins. |

Would someone really pay $10K for such a terribly damaged and cleaned coin? Cleaning is easily a 50% cut. Severe damage like this would perhaps be 75%. So, at best, this would be worth 12.5% of Trends. But, that near zero eye appeal would probably kill it more. Is this one of those not really intending to sell it on ebay coins? Any point trying to auction it? Now, imagine if it were a G-4 1921 50c piece. |

We should state what iot's worth to us.
I'd pay about 10%, say $2000 for it.
Who'd pay more?

No need to google gord. Asking questions and discussing coins is what this forum is all about.

I don't promote "whizzing" on coins, however, this is one coin that would be a perfect candidate for a whizz job from a Pro. The whizzing would soften the deep gouges and the fine hairlines from cleaning, then a two year stint on a window sill would retone it to look like a natural beauty again! Glenn  |

I even offered an 1893 RT dime in exchange for a real nice half he had.. with him coming out on top... answer no thanks........Where are the good old days of trades :(
