If you read my other posts you know that I recently bought a group of coins from an estate. I bought all of these coins based on my opinion of grade & whether or not they had been cleaned. There are a couple of these that I think I might not have paid fair market value for. I'm not going to disclose what I paid, but if the forum opinion of grade/condition varies greatly from my own I'm going to contact the seller & make things right. I'm hoping I'll get some good opinions of grade, what problems you see & if the coin is impaired(cleaned, damaged, etc) what percentage of non-problem value would you have paid. My pics are not the best....if there's something I think the pics don't show I'll point it out.

The pictures are pretty accurate...splotchy toning & all. There are a couple minor rim dings above thePL, the I & the you in PLURIBUS that don't show up too well in the pic. This is one of the ones I think I might have low-balled so take a good look.

Agree, EF-40 with deep original toning. If there is some luster lurking between the letters and stars it might stretch to EF-45. The rim marks aren't severe enough to be called "damage" IMO.
Rest in Peace

I'm on board with the other grade opinions. $130-ish? In a slab, of course.

I also had this one in the EF range. I also thought this might have been one I lowballed on. After taking into account recent ebay sales & slabbing fees I think I paid a fair price.

Looks like this one is coming back from ANACS in an EF-45 slab.
