howell1018 Pillar of the Community United States 730 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 01:01 am VF-25.maybe $1,500-1,700. Not an expert. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 02:02 am It appears cleaned with VF+ Details. Assuming it's genuine I would value it around $1,000. It needs to be authenticated. Many counterfeit $3 gold pieces are out there. Good luck! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15472 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 06:30 am Really difficult to judge with those small photos taken inside a 2x2. From what I can see of the obverse there appears to be cleaning swipes. This is a coin that unless you are a series expert needs to be authenticated by a TPG. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 755 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 5:32 pm VF Details, Harshly Cleaned. It should slabbed by a reputable TPG company if you expect people to bid on it at auction. Edited by Adam590 03/13/2025 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 09:55 am I also agree with VF details (cleaned) Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 3:07 pm ANACS would be your best choice for low-cost authentication. With a likely grade of "VF details, cleaned" I'd expect a sale price of maybe $700. If it graded problem-free (unlikely) it could fetch $1000 or more. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 4:17 pm Agree with everyone here this is best to get it graded by PCGS or NGC if I was a buyer, most ebay VF graded example goes over $1,000. Report this Post to the Staff
