Oh yeah they did note the variety on it, I was just hoping to get a general idea if the grade they gave me matches up with what real experienced coin guys think....I have been browsing the other posts titled " you vs ICCS" and you guys seem to nail it each time...

Well I think a vg 10 to f12 should be about right, maybe someone else could chime in on grade.
Again, congrats on your find, did you know the variety?
All I ever find metal detecting is dirt :(

I didn't know at first..a friend on FB said it looked like it could be so I took it to a dealer in Toronto and he was pretty certain it was but he hadn't ever had one in his hand before..he advised me to take the 2 coins I found in for grading.

What grade did you think? Part of me wants to say f15 detail wise but because of the light cleaning and couple of spots it would put me at around 10-12
What did you think?

I had no idea..dealer said it could be F12 to VF20. He said if it was his he would advertise it as a VF20. This is what I ended up with as far as the 10 cent goes. You guys are pretty good I must say. I am going to ask a bunch of questions over the next few months...  |

This was another coin that I found in the same field as the 10 cent just a couple weeks prior. It also received the same grade F12 but also got a CORRODED comment.   |

The 1880 is a nice 12 detail wise but see why they gave it that because of the surfaces. Still a scarce coin, around 150$ retail imo

As far as the 10 cent goes, what is a realistic price one could hope for vs what is indicated in a coin book? Are there many variables with a coin like this or is it a must have for a collector even in a F grade?

It would be likely 1500$ - 2500, tough to say, but I think in that neighbourhood is right, it a scarce coin, very desirable to some indeed, not my self but I see people on here that collect them with enthusiasm

Yep Alan's right I'd also say $2000 fair market value give or take 500, just gotta find the right buyer. F grade is pretty decent for this coin variety from what I've seen. I'm sure they'd do a great job with it in a GB Auction and they would probably be happy to have it.

It would definitely be a tough one to sell...I wanted to dig one for so long and now that I did I don't think I can part with it...even just an F12 it is still a beautiful old coin to look at.

Heading out to the area where I found the 1858 10 cent on Saturday to try to find another oldie...I guess spending money is harder to come by nowadays as nobody has shown any interest in owning it..
