712 Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 2:42 pm It does have the CSA obverse die crack, and I did include the variety grade with the order. They just shipped it and it should be here maybe tomorrow. I'll post a pic of the encapsulated coin. It's a great coin and I would not want to take a chance getting it downgraded. I sent another 1861-O with the CSA obverse die crack with the same order, they gave it a grade of F12. I thought for sure they would call a cleaning on it. Two great coins that I cherry picked off ebay and I just found another one. The VF-30, I paid $142 for. Three fantastic finds. I'm old and retired and love to cherry-pick, Ed Report this Post to the Staff

If it truly NGC-30 WITH the designation CSA then the value is 5-6x that amount. So your saying this coin is worth close to 800 dollars, that coin would have to be mint state to do do that and it ain't even close, and a slab wont make it worth any more. If it is a NGC-30 then it's worth around 70 dollars. Edited by jsbruton 01/09/2013 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think you are understanding exactly what this coin is, it is most certainly not your average 1861-O. This coin was struck with the same obverse die that was used to strike the Confederate States of America Half Dollar. Only about 1/3 of the 1861-O mintage was struck under Federal authority, the rest were struck by Louisiana after succession and then the CSA government. Unfortunately, most of the non-Federal issues are difficult to attribute to the CSA but the WB-102 is probably the single most popular variety that can be definitively attributed to the CSA. A slab with proper attribution will indeed add hundreds of dollars to the value of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
jsbruton Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 3:22 pm biokemist6 I do see what your saying I simply missed the crack on the obv of the coin and yes that makes a bit of difference and one I missed valued around 200 to 400 Dollars. Report this Post to the Staff

712 Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 5:57 pm 1861-O CSA obverse F-12 auctioned for $690 and same coin EF-45 went for $3,400 on ebay a few months ago. Ef-30 auctioned for $2600. So another point would make a difference but I'm satisfied, I'm not going to chance it. The F-12 I bought for under $50 and the EF-30 for $142, I was just lucky with the cherry picking Report this Post to the Staff
712 Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 6:07 pm I just looked at the PCGS F-12 that went for $925, WOW, no bidders just a straight "buy it now" it was a very nice looking coin. Like I said I'll post mine when I receive them, Ed Report this Post to the Staff
