Not AU looks like VF/XF. At the current price of $6.00 it's a deal, I'd bid no more than $12-15 myself, the possible permanent damage limits the sell-ability.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 01:09 am You should pick as high of a grade as you can afford - then look for the nicest coin you can find for the price, stay away from coins with problems, scratches, heavy cleaning, artificial toning, corrosion, anything that detracts from the over all appearance, and you'll do fine, remember there are lots of coins out there don't jump at the first one you see!

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 2:38 pm I would recommend you pass on this one. It has too much foreign matter on it and you can find a comparably graded coin that has much more eye appeal that you'll be proud to own by being patient. The Dansco album, United States Type #7070, is the type set a lot of CCFers are filling I see. In fact, it's one of three type sets I am assembling. The other two are Capital Plastics holders #460A & B. These display quite well though, if purchased new can run as much as $60.90 each. I got mine barely used at $10.00 each at a coin show. That was a super deal. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
