RES Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 1:35 pm Hey everyone. One of the retirees that I know is selling off his collection. I want to add this 3 cent to my collection since I don't have a silver yet, but I have no idea what it is worth due to the scratches on it. What does it grade to and how do I figure out how much it is worth? What would any of you pay for it? Report this Post to the Staff

Mikey07nj Valued Member United States 498 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 2:02 pm Pass on this and watch auctions ending on ebay you can pick up that grade without the scratches and uncleaned for between $10 to &20. When I buy collections and find stuff like that in the lot I give them to kids who are amazed by them and gets them interested in the hobby Report this Post to the Staff

RES Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 3:26 pm I think that's where I'm headed with most of his coins. I think I'm probably going to have to offer melt on most of it all. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 4:05 pm $2 to 3 dollars and that is probably being generous. Report this Post to the Staff
