 with Super Dave's price range, but I'd set my hard water mark on this coin at $1350. Those black spots on the reverse are not attractive. |

Great feedback...I will come back in a few weeks when I have proper photos.

It's a decent coin, but it's dull and splotchy and I'm not crazy about it, especially the reverse. I would value it under $1,500 for sure.

Agree with mox. Eye appeal is the single most important factor when determining value. Especially with slds as most have been doctored at one point or another. Based on the pics your example is ok looking but not great. Probably been worked on lightly as some black stains still remain. The only way to get realistic price discovery is to have an expert view it in hand or put it up for auction with professional pictures.

great looking coin and much better than most au58s I see.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Quote: Great Collections has lower fees, but ebay has more people looking. Great Collections fees are higher than eBays. They raised their buyers fee to 12.5% so they're still higher even for coins over 1k. ebay you likely won't like the results with a new sellers account that doesn't usually sell coins listing something like that as an auction. David Lawrence is another option for auctions. Your lowest fees would likely be consigning through Gerry Fortin, he only charges 9% at that price level and is a noted seated expert. |

Quote:Not by far. A PCGS 58 sold for $2,820 two years ago at Heritage. https://coins.ha.com/itm/seated-dol...ption-071515 That auction does not appear on the PCGS Auction Prices listing. Interesting. And the Cert is no longer valid. And the coin - although very nice - is not over AU55. Makes me wonder if it got bought back under a Grade Review. OK, then there are two outliers.  |

A nicer looking 1841 Dollar PCGS AU-58 just sold at auction recently for $1,058.......I believe your coin is more in the $900-$1000 range:  |

Yaak! I would take the op's coin over that exorbitantly cleaned piece of crap any day! Who ever purchased it didn't know what they were doing. Advanced sld collectors wouldn't wasted their time or money on it. That said I think your range for pricing is inline with what auction results would produce for the op's piece. |

OK, then there are two outliers. I'm a big fan of the PCGS auction price tool, but there are definitely holes in it. I mostly use it as a snap shot for rarer things and then look around and see what was missed. It would be interesting to know if there was a pattern or something in common with what doesn't make it in there |

If you do sell, learn how to take decent pictures. Scans usually make coins look ugly, and not too many people want ugly coins.
Just so you know, if I was in the market for an AU-58 SLD, I would have passed right over your coin given the current pictures.
