tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 3:46 pm Looks like a nice G-4 example. Maybe a $20 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 3:58 pm i would say higher than G4...looks like VF20 + to me...dentils/rims are full, detail in the relief of the obverse look much better than even a VG graded coin...little bit of schmutz on the obverse but that might remove with the proper application...nice coin Mike, if your interested in learning basic steps for grading go to ha.com, heritage auctions...use their filters on the left hand navigation to narrow down to your coin(s). Then look at the "sold" tab, top center of results. you can see tons of high end res closeups and get a good feel for what grade coins you have and with a quick, free registration, you will see what they auctioned for historically right up to date. its a great utility for any collector. you can learn a ton from that.

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 5:18 pm Looks like a VF details coin which has some condition issues that would likely limit its value to around $15 dollars in my opinion. Still a nice coin for a collector starting out and it has seen a lot of history. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 12/20/2012 2:18 pm I would go F12 on this coin. If you have a bunch of these save the best ones and put a set together. Sell your doubles and use the proceeds to get dates your missing. Just a suggestion Report this Post to the Staff
