aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 2:26 pm Close up pic's would be real nice if you can,Looks MS but need better pic's for an accurate assessment.. The other thing is the intial cost of the coin and add about$45 bucks for shipping and insurance both ways and grading fee's ..That may put it over the value of your investment, but those numbers you can decide, its a nice year!

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 4:14 pm The abrasions and color change on Liberty's cheek, eyebrow, and jaw tell me this coin has been lightly circulated. The abrasions might lead a grading service to label this coin as "cleaned". Assuming the abrasions are judged to be from circulation rather than abusive handling, the coin should grade AU-55 or AU-58. This is a pricey coin in higher grades and if you can get it into a no-problem PCGS, NGC, or ANACS holder it would be easier to sell if that is your goal. If they label it as cleaned it will be worth less but will still be attractive as a genuine example of this scarce date. So, spending money on a TPG could be a good investment.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 9:14 pm Yeah, it looks like Liberty's face has some almost scrape-like rub on her cheeks; though the rest of the coin basically looks lusterous and uncirculated. I agree with Jaobler at AU-55/58. Report this Post to the Staff
712 Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 9:57 pm Thank you guys, I paid 160 for it, maybe a little high but I think I'll make out ok with it and will send it to Anacs for grading later on and for now it stays with my collection, Ed Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 10:06 pm Welcome, enjoy the Forum. Hey, high retail is 200 to 250. If it is AU58, a hundred and sixty bucks is a decent price. The lady really "took it" on the nose and cheek while the eagle got away pretty clean. Still a great coin. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 11:06 pm AU-58 but the abrasions on the cheek would probably take it down to AU-53 or AU-55 price Report this Post to the Staff
