How much will graffiti devalue the coin? I know its hard to say and then if the demand for a coin is there, then there may be minimal devaluing?
Is there a reason behind graffiti such as this on this old of a coin?
Thanks

Graffiti hurts the value .. a lot
Many collectors would not consider buying a coin with graffiti, even
at a cheap price.

Value by graffiti damage I would say at minimum it loses 40% or more of its value

Thanks No one can tell exactly why. Unless we're looking at a 1933 Double Eagle, the value is likely to go down about 50 - 60% of its original value. Some people, including me, will not collect coins that have graffiti. |

VF-Details, graffiti. Since the damage is in very prominent places on both the obverse and reverse, the value is significantly impacted and only would appeal to low budget collectors who only want a cheap type coin. For example if the coin was worth $100 undamaged, it may only be worth $40 damaged to the "right" customer.

 to the CCF! Yes, there is significant value reductions to any graffiti on coins but it is a family heirloom. I would enjoy it as such! |

I appreciate all of the replies about the Lady. Without the graffiti, what grade does the coin appear to have? Any idea of value also?
Thanks

Thanks I'd say VF-25. Hard to pinpoint value on damaged coins, since it would depend on each potential buyer's tolerance for imperfect coins. I'd think on ebay it would realize approx. $30-35. |
