SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 8:22 pm Welcome to Coin Community, tyler20c. This is a fairly common example of the type, but still worth a bit of a premium over metal value. The areas to concentrate on when determining whether wear has occurred include the back of the headdress and the shoulder and legs of the eagle. Differences in strike quality can offer a similar appearance, though, and it's difficult to be sure that the slightly-circulated look of yours is in fact wear. These climb rapidly in value as grade goes up, so it behooves the buyer to be very cautious when grading a raw one to decide a purchase price. It could as easily be a $700 AU as a $1500 MS64 with little differences in visible marks. Report this Post to the Staff
tbolts10 Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 01/27/2015 9:01 pm Thanks for the awesome info! I payed 775 for it... seemed like a good deal to me but again I don't have a whole lot of knowledge other than what I have learned on this forum just recently. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 01:16 am Melt value is currently over $600 so you can't get hurt too badly by paying $775 for this coin. It looks attractive with no obvious problems and should grade AU-53 at least. Very nice addition to a gold type set! Report this Post to the Staff
