This one also came back from Anacs today. They said it's the NoD Die 2, & gave it a EF 45 DETAILS with the designation Altered Surfaces-Corroded. Any ideas on what a fair market price might be for it?

DOOD! THAT'S AWESOME! You have a rare coin regardless of the details designation! I had a feeling about the surfaces, but it's still a high grade no D. You hit a couple of good grades here lately with some important key dates! CONGRATS!
I'd value this around $1500 all day long.

On another note, I'd be tempted to crack it and let it sit in a window sill for a year or two. Occassionally thumb it and flip it to try and get it to re-brown/re-tone. It might look a lot better and command more money regardless of the surfaces. Who knows, with the proper color it might re-grade without the details and you could have a $2000+ coin.

I expected it to come back as being recolored which is waht I'm assuming the "altered surfaces" refers to. I'm totally surprised by corroded.....I just don't see any evidence of that.

I see one little spot on the lower left reverse but I have seen slabbed coins with worse spots. Overall, the coin has great details for a 22 no D  |

Surfaces look fine I think this is a $1500+ coin. TPG should put this in a problem free slab ("market grade") it is gorgeous. |

Great Find! I hate looking at the 1922 D (Error) no mint mark hole in my old Whitman album... I've been experimenting with lighting and have had some good luck outside when cloudy (diffused lighting). |

Great coin! If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?

I bought this coin as part of a collection that included a lot of "junk silver" along with a bunch of coins with numismatic value. In the process of deciding what I could pay for the entire collection I assigned approximate values to everything. I could throw that number out there but it would be misleading. There were some coins in the collection that I sent to be graded/evaluated by Anacs that came back better than I expected & others that came back as problem coins or outright fakes. In other words, there were a few coins I made out like a bandit on & others I lost my shirt. On this particular coin I'll either make a nice profit if I sell or will have a nice addition to my collection for less than market value

It might even be an AU grade.
Very nice.

It is an extremely strong example! This should definitely be TPG'd. swcoin.ecrater.com
