Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4471 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 12:51 pm I looked up your coins on ebay sold. You need the 1923 to grade MS64 and the 1917 D to grade AU 50 to recover your purchase price. If the 17D gets a AU details grade, you lose a $100. There may be a chance the 17D has been cleaned, look at the hairlines in the fields all going the same direction. When spending over $150 on a coin, I do not like buying coins raw from photo. You will be money ahead in the long run buying $150 plus coins graded by NGC or PCGS. Send them back and chalk it up to experience. Report this Post to the Staff
KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 1:17 pm If the 1917-D is an "AU details", does that mean it gets the AU50 price? Some were saying on here it's MS62 or MS63 which in auctions anyway, is pretty high, about $400-$500. I paid $200, I think. I had thought the 17D was about MS60 and the 1923 was MS63 or higher. The photos on the "PCGS" grading sight show MS63 with a much weaker buffalo and weaker Indian face than the 1923 I bought. I guess that is only one part of the equation. Report this Post to the Staff

No, AU details will typically sell for less than a AU50 straight grade. Two 17D AU Details at HA sold in 2017 for $94 and $97. If you like to gamble, send them in for grading. If the 17D gets a AU 58, you make a nice score. Report this Post to the Staff
