CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 10:36 pm Crap pics, I know. I'll get better pics upon arrival. Paid what my LCS would sell it at (13x face) Probably going to flip this one as I have a ton of them. Going to have to see population reports first before I do that, though. They seem to be difficult to find in lower grades. 221990497656 Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 10:53 pm Junk silver for a junk silver price. Mind you, because it is a commemorative, I would have bought it for 13X face myself! I would agree: Probably greater population numbers in VF. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12870 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 11:35 pm I'm not even sure that photo is good enough for "crap". But at that price, it's hard to lose. Report this Post to the Staff
CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 01:56 am Hard to lose unless it's a fake of course. With pictures like that hard to tell until it's in hand Report this Post to the Staff

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 03:48 am I had blurry ebay pics myself as a seller but that almost looks intentional. I guess it's a blind draw Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 10:26 pm I am with the group, the pictures are not good enough to place a grade on this coin. I would lean to the grade not being in the lowball grades. Which I put in the PO-1 to fair grades. My guess is it is a little better than that. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15608 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 6:54 pm The ebay seller photos are indeed horrible .. but convey enough information for me to offer an informed opinion ... This is not a lowball ... that would take FR02/PO01 for this coin. Best you can do with this purchase is keep it as an initial exploration into the classic silver commemorative series ... or wait for silver values to rise and sell it at silver content value. Better photos from you once the coin is in hand might change my opinion. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
