A good bit of advice - if only most sellers used these types of things when IDing later coins. If they were all accurate though I bet fewer bargains could be found, I guess its a double edged sword! Price-wise I have no idea Jango, as said before these coins are all new to me, interested to see what others say though! Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 12:10 pm I did read somewhere that legend breaks could symbolise that the subject was 'closer to god' than the subject of an unbroken coin. Not sure how much truth is in this and how much is theory though. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 4:26 pm Since I started the guess game, I should also play along with yours, right? I dunno, I haven't looked at Val II coins in a long time. I have three Val II coins, each of which I paid under $5, but they are not in the same great shape as yours. So let me guess. $15 plus shipping? Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 9:58 pm All right, the guessing game has been marinating too long without another guess, so I'll reveal the price: $12.53, shipping included. Edited by VisigothKing 11/18/2011 10:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
aboarman Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 11/19/2011 02:25 am That's a fair price, especially when you consider the amount of time it takes to attribute, restore, list, and ship out a coin. It can be disheartening to put so much effort into it and end up not making anything. But, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. Report this Post to the Staff
