DarthMojo New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 07:46 am I am new to the coin collecting world and recently purchased a 1908 G 1/2 Mark coin KM# 17. I have attached some pictures and wanted to get an idea if this coin in the condition (I know it is only pictures) would be worth getting graded? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 09:28 am I would guess it grades mid VF to XF, IMO not worth getting graded Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff
DarthMojo New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 09:46 am Thank you both for your recommendations. I purchased it for $14 from a seller in Germany and I knew the value varied based on condition. In the future for ungraded coins would you recommend a grading system or a tool to help estimate the grade? I knew at the worst the coin could be worth at least $14 but beyond that I was not sure.

The more you look at the easier it will be to see where the coins wear first. Edited by IndianGoldEagle 11/08/2018 09:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
