GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 5:04 pm Would be interested in hearing what you all think this would grade and what a fair price to sell it for. I am trying to sort out some coins to sell, so I can fill other holes. So would be nice to know, on this one, what others think the value is. Report this Post to the Staff

invisibleninja7 Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 7:27 pm Hmm, this one is tough, with the dinged up LIBERTY. Also are those scratches at the 12 o'clock star and the back of the neck new, because the copper under them looks shiny and new. I'd say F-15 because the hair above the brow is for the most part, there. The date is strong, but by contrast, the top of reverse is very weak. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 7:34 pm At first glance, I was going to say F12 but I think you have to consider the strike weakness VS. actual wear. I agree with F15. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 7:45 pm Yes .. those are small scratches .. not sure how they got there. I think this was part of some coins I purchased last year. It does look a little better in hand .. still working on my photo skills. I guess I am wondering what forum members are buying coins like this for .. like 5, 10 15 dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
invisibleninja7 Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 7:57 pm I spent 17.50 on a coin from this exact year in worse shape, but then again, I got it from a dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 11:18 pm I would say you should get $17 for it. Report this Post to the Staff

Wei Fun Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 02/09/2011 10:44 pm My first impression is VG10, but it's possible it's a weakly struck F12? Report this Post to the Staff
