psuman08 Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 01/20/2021 10:55 pm I think this is a VG details. The reverse image is hard to see detail due to the angle. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter00 Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 12:12 am Hi, I do not currently have the coin in my possession -- was just wondering if I should change that but I think I will pass! Thanks for the responses! Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17222 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 4:44 pm Personally I like it. 1797 C-2 an R-4 variety. Gary Schmidt Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 5398 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 2:50 pm Agree with VG details, with several significant old scratches. The coin looks genuine, with a relatively smooth planchet and no apparent corrosion. Even with the scratches the value is likely in the $500 range. I think many type collectors would be pleased with this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 5:24 pm The reverse photo makes it difficult to get a good feel for the grade. It looks either G-06 or VG-08 details, and more likely VG-08 details. I have to say, for a details coin, it looks pretty nice for the grade. The scratches are old, and the coin circulated a while after the scratches. IMHO a straight graded VG-08 would be $600-ish, give or take a bit. The general rule of thumb for details coins is to cut the straight grade value in half, but this one likely would go a bit higher. Somewhere around $400-450 might be in the ballpark.
