Would that rim ding on the obverse pull it down a few grades? Thinking about purchasing it - what would you guess is a fair price? Thanks! http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...0,0&format=0 Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 12:39 am I think AU-55. I think that hit on the rim is not significant enough to cause a downgrade or a details grade. Assuming this is not a rare VAM, I think this coin would be worth around $50-55. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 08:41 am Possibly overdipped but seems to be mint state. I'll say MS-61 due to some of the issues. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 09:41 am That's a look I've seen in photos shot in direct sunlight. I don't know about the quality of the surfaces as a result - but the coin is nothing extraordinary and the "textile" look on the right obverse is disconcerting. I think I'd pass on this one unless the price was outstanding. Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 11:38 pm Looks like VAM 130C1 but a slightly later die state...nice coin... Report this Post to the Staff
wcoop78 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 3:55 pm $61... The seller listed it as a VAM 130c1... Looks pretty to me but I'm no expert. I need a 1878 rev 78 but may keep holding out unless you guys think $61 is a good deal (seems like maybe a fair price but not a steal?) Report this Post to the Staff
