Titles are Important! * I have my own thoughts, however I thought it would be interesting to get some additional feedback. NGC XF Details Corrosion. Strong features on the coin. Problem free in XF40 it's a $2,000 coin. What's your best "guestimate" on value? We know the grade, we know the problem, I have my own idea of it's worth, what's yours? Report this Post to the Staff

wrigcasull New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 4:21 pm Thanks. I just want everyone to take a stab at its value and then I'll reveal my thoughts after. Just making a game of it Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8940 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 5:07 pm $950? The corrosion is bad, but it doesn't obstruct the detail that much. I can see the seller asking a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 6:30 pm I'd guess something in the $600+ range, though it's not something I'd want to own. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 04/17/2020 6:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 6:59 pm Gonna go with what Frog said, $600-$800 would probably be what I would guess retail would be. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5689 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 7:40 pm I'd say around $500. Report this Post to the Staff
wrigcasull New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 9:05 pm So the story goes this coin was won via auction for $375 with fees. I thought a fair market value was $500, however it would be the first "problem coin" in the collection and I decided against it. For me I'd rather have a G-4 or AG3 than a "Details" XF. Just my thing I guess. Thanks for everyone's comments! Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5689 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 11:36 pm Never wrong to pass on a details coin. Personally, I'd rather have that coin than a straight graded G-4 for the same price. I think the price was fair, but I would have passed, too. Report this Post to the Staff
