Good day! I have a friend who wants tonsell this for $250. Do you think that's a good deal? It says it's worth almost $300 for a G4. This looks like a vg10 to me perhaps?

Thank you!

First thing I would worry about is it a counterfeit. Also it looks to have been cleaned

Shouldn't it say "In God We Trust" on the reverse?

Unfortunately without the IN GOD WE TRUST motto on the reverse it's most certainly a counterfeit.

A worthless counterfeit. The mushy devices and the lack of "In God We Trust" give it away.

This is a counterfeit without the "In God We Trust" missing, unless an unknown error. It's a Seated Liberty and in Good condition could fetch $258.

I agree. You can see from this picture, it has the banner on the reverse with "IN GOD WE TRUST"

Incorrect. Even if it did have "In God We Trust", notice the mushy devices such as the date and letters.

Definitely 100% counterfeit.
