Stutzman108 Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 01:20 am Ok, so this one was sort of an impulse buy.. I know this is a damaged coin, but I'm still thinking at least VG 8 (hoping anyway). If not, I can always turn it in for it's melt value http://www.ebay.com/itm/30067136299....m1439.l2649 Edit: I know the ebay links are probably a pain, so I'm including pictures that the original seller has posted.

Terry-T Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 4:11 pm IF it didn't have the damage (besides the hole it looks like the obverse has other problems), I'd say VG-8 reverse, G-6 obverse, but with the damage, forget about any numismatic value; silver value only. Report this Post to the Staff

Stutzman108 Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 11:19 pm I see, being still somewhat new at this coin thing I thought the damage was insignificant if it were small like that hole. Ah well, I guess it's a hard learned lesson to stay away from problem pieces... it's best I learned this time before I made an even costlier mistake I suppose.

Quote: ... it's a hard learned lesson to stay away from problem pieces... Yes, true, if you come across coins like these no matter how rare the date, they are only good for melt. I have a 1893 Canada ten cents (flat top 3) in about EF condition but, with a hole that was probably used for a necklace at one time. Report this Post to the Staff

kitkat1858 Valued Member Canada 371 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 01:26 am I saw an 1873 5 cent coin from Newfoundland on ebay last week that sold for $75 U.S. + shipping... and it was bent and holed. I suppose there are some exceptions...as always. Report this Post to the Staff
