Do you mind cleaned coins?

WOW for that price, for that grade, you did fantastic. 302,700 Minted so even if cleaned, so what. Possibly AU or better. I like that one. Ever wonder why the Mint chose to abbreviate Dollar? Why not 1/2 Dollar or make the Half Dollar smaller?  |

This one is kind of a "Catch-22". It shows lots of detail, but has been cleaned and shows damage. It would probably grade AU-50 details. A true AU-50 would set you back about $300~350.
If you wanted a gradeable coin, you would only get a VF-EF40 for $125.
Your call.

$125 is a bit high for a damaged coin like this. With it cleaned and that gouge on the head, I'd pass and wait for a nicer coin. Shop around, I found this coin last year on a dealer's web site for $95, it was graded EF. Not as scarce of a date but I wanted it for a 7070 type set.   Edited by IndianGoldEagle

That gouge on the head is huge, and will be far more plain in person than it is in the images. You'll wish you hadn't. Also: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=46562 |

Worst case scenrio I can sell it at my friends local auction house. From what I have seen oldies like this will go higher than normal jsut becasue the old geezers don't see them that often.
