Originally, I would've also advised you to get it repaired...however the high slab grade will further increase the amount you get for it as people often buy the slab, not the coin (especially on key dates) so it might not be worth it any more given that you probably won't get a VF-30 grade again. I agree with the others that VF-30 is generous...I was thinking around F-15 but the same thing has happened to me both ways (undergrading and overgrading) when submitting coins. It might look stronger in hand though, so I could be wrong. Also note that its not the mintage that makes this coin so expensive, even though 264,000 is pretty low for a 20th century coin. The 1927-S quarter has 400,000 minted and its only $20-25 in AG condition. It's more that everyone wants to complete this set, supply and demand etc. It's also been 'famous' as a key date for a long long time. I have a few coins with less than 1/10 the mintage of a 1916-D, and they're all worth less even in higher grade save for one I think. I'd keep it in the slab and put it up for BIN or best offer at $1200, and see what offers roll in. Try to get $750 after fees out of it. I dont think ANACS has a cert lookup, by the way.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 11:33 pm I wonder what NCS could do about getting that solder residue off the reverse? It might leave a nasty looking surface, but if it's not welded into the base metal, it would look a heck of a lot better. No way you should take under $500 for it. I could see it bringing $1,000 with the right buyer. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
