F-12. Looks authentic to me. Like Bill said, the bidding is already nearing full retail for this coin.

Looks legit, better reverse than obverse, VG-10. Reverse appears much darker than the obverse - possible old cleaning here.

It could go F12. Nice color & doesn't look cleaned. Not a bargain and a common date though.

I agree that this Von could go F 12.
I feel the bidding will go over $300

Compared to the others available, seems too high a price to me. Looking to fill my type set as well.

Alright thanks everyone! This is the first one I've found on ebay in a while that is uncleaned and in my price range though. Looks like I shall search some more! |

Just cannot understand a grade of Fine with only 3 letters visible.

It's been dipped enough that all the natural color has left and then retoned at least once. It is just to "dull" with the addition of the Halo Effect around the devices in comparison to the design elements. A definite details coin.
VG, but as has already been mentioned, its not a lot more to climb to a better grade. I'd pass on this one.

 with the others -- if you can delay your spending for a few months and put away a few dollars more a month you can afford a much nicer coin without having to eat ramen noodles and sleep in a box. :) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Looks like somebody won it for $280. Not a steal but not bad either.

Graders are not using LIBERTY to grade coins, like they use to. In March 2016 Coin World there is a good article on grading Seated dollars. They mention, LIBERTY should not be used as a primary grading requirement. Due to inconsistencies in strike among different years and mints. In the article even the VF 25 does not have a full LIBERTY. |

Seated dollars have been hot for 3-4 years now and getting hotter. CDN picked up on this awhile back & listed them as a series that is likely to appreciate substantially due to rarity vs. demand. They also nailed Barber halves gains, another prediction which has been coming true as well.
