i received a 1855 liberty head 21/2D as a gift, the values appear to vary tremendously based on grade; how can I determine what grade mine is

Welcome lbo! We would need a picture of both sides of your coin to evaluate grade/value.

picture were not clear, this is a scan of both sides; actual coing is not as "dull" as scan but you can see detail at least   |

Your coin looks nice considering it was scanned. I'd guess it would grade AU (About Uncirculated). Value estimate would be $250 to $300. If it did grade at the high end of the AU scale, like AU58 and problem-free, then it could go up to $350. |

Anywhere near Goldsboro? My nephew is at Seymour Johnson AFB and would happy to help. If you want to send me a message, I can put you in contact with him. Most dealers wouldn't offer much over melt price ($208) and your coin is worth more than that. Selling it raw you should get $250 minimum. I don't think it's worth grading unless it is AU+ and I can't tell that for sure from the scans. Best of luck! |

At a worst case scenario, my guess would be AU55..
I agree with BH1964, not much beyond melt from a dealer.
It's a good looking coin.

Yes, AU 50/55. This is collector quality and should not be sold as bullion.
