I would certainly buy that, some of us collect lower grade coins like that one and it would fit in well with my collection

That's a nice AG and I'd certainly give you a fair offer > $100 should you wish to sell.

The electronic tester we use is not that nice.
But the one we use seems to work very well.
We have found several coins that were not what they were
suppose to be.

GR58, I'm interested to know what type of tester you use.

To answer your question, yes I would. I paid $100 for an EF-45 1846 Dollar with a hole in it. Fills the hole and hhas nice details.

For the gold/silver tester, I just made a thread in the Main forum section.
I thaought it might be better to have it's own thread, in case others
are interested

I might be willing to purchase the coin at that price, but only if I was planning on flipping it for a decent profit. I don't exclusively stick to high grade coins for my type album, due to the cost, but I do feel that a bare minimum is to have all distinguishing features visible. In other words, if the distinguishing feature of a specific type coin is that it has a motto on the back, I want to actually be able to see the motto and not just a vague outline of where the motto used to be. So this coin would just be too worn for my taste regardless of the price.

Minimum standard for a collectible coin in my collection is F (British) or VF (Sheldon).
Severely damaged or low grade coins dissapoint me. I have had a few over the years, but they have all been moved on.

Cull Seated dollars still sell for below $100, as shown on this PO-1 example for $66: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1871-Seated...047675.l2557I'd say for borderline AG/G, $100 is a decent price since at least you have a coin with a nearly completed outlined design with a clear date/stars/legend on the obverse, and a nearly full rim. I disagree about VF being lowest collectible since there are many coins in VG or F that have a noticeable premium over AG/G, but I personally consider VG my lowest grade I'd collect (even common Barbers, since VG is still a good budget grade for completing a set).

For me the price has a lot to do with what grade I would
like to fill some of those harder holes.
Sometimes I don't mind putting a lower grade coin to
fill the hole, if I know it might be years before I
can buy a higher grade. And sometimes the price jump
is just crazy ... for a middle class collector.
For example, check out numismedia price guide for
a 1926 S Indian head/Buffalo nickel
Fine $85 - Very Fine $240
That is a big jump for just one grade. For me, unless that
series was going to be a crown jewel for my collection,
the fine grade would fill the hole. Or maybe even lower.
