BrickellCat Pillar of the Community United States 558 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 1:18 pm What is something like this worth in the condition it's in? It was taken out from an ANACS holder to put in my father's type set folder. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 1:30 pm I'd want it in a certified holder only, broken out it does not have any guarantee of authenticity. If real maybe $500-800 is possible. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

LTMets44 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 2:51 pm Numismedia has a VG8 listed for $5,190 which is always a little on the high side. You have to knock it down some for the corrosion and scratches. I would bet you can get around $1,000 for it. I am not an expert at all so let's wait and see what other people think.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 8:23 pm Tough coin. Pretty corroded but given it's current condition, still looking at $2000-2500. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15456 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 8:42 pm Wow ... not everyday we see one of those! If it were mine ... and I wished to sell ... I'd get it back in a TPG slab for authentication purposes. Agreed this is likely a $2K coin if genuine. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 10:13 pm I guess I was a bit low found a link to one at DLRC Auctions that sold in the $1400 range; http://www.davidlawrence.com/invent...lotid/782528 Larry Briggs has one for almost $4K! http://larrybriggsrarecoins.com/ind...duct_id=1141 And one sold at the HA Auction at FUN 2008 for $1450.00 So I retract my lowball price guess and say with both corrosion and scratches it's a minimum $1k coin.

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 08:13 am I like the color on this one, especially on the face and leaves, very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 5:45 pm That's a great coin. Somehow it looks as if it aged gracefully. I have several oldies that are really beat up but none that are as rare as this one. I call them my survivors and I really enjoy them! Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".
