BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 1:25 pm It looks to have VF Detail and has been harshly cleaned and damaged. As is there's not much value, if any, above melt. Melt is about $150 right now. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 2:04 pm The O mintmark would make even a ex-jewlery XF worth more than melt. But a badly damaged VF like this would still be worth obly melt. Report this Post to the Staff
