Quote:Not by far. A PCGS 58 sold for $2,820 two years ago at Heritage. https://coins.ha.com/itm/seated-dol...ption-071515 That auction does not appear on the PCGS Auction Prices listing. Interesting. And the Cert is no longer valid. And the coin - although very nice - is not over AU55. Makes me wonder if it got bought back under a Grade Review. OK, then there are two outliers.

A nicer looking 1841 Dollar PCGS AU-58 just sold at auction recently for $1,058.......I believe your coin is more in the $900-$1000 range:

Yaak! I would take the op's coin over that exorbitantly cleaned piece of crap any day! Who ever purchased it didn't know what they were doing. Advanced sld collectors wouldn't wasted their time or money on it. That said I think your range for pricing is inline with what auction results would produce for the op's piece.

OK, then there are two outliers. I'm a big fan of the PCGS auction price tool, but there are definitely holes in it. I mostly use it as a snap shot for rarer things and then look around and see what was missed. It would be interesting to know if there was a pattern or something in common with what doesn't make it in there

Quote: It would be interesting to know if there was a pattern or something in common with what doesn't make it in there I see it regularly. Many times it's a PCGS coin which doesn't show up, which does them no good, so I have to think "incompetence" rather than "deliberacy."

If you do sell, learn how to take decent pictures. Scans usually make coins look ugly, and not too many people want ugly coins.
Just so you know, if I was in the market for an AU-58 SLD, I would have passed right over your coin given the current pictures.
