I am pretty sure you could get a lot more than half value for it. As for the glue theory I'm not sure looks more like it's been flattened to me. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/17/2014 12:05 am Assuming the reverse is similar to the obverse then $300 would be fair market value for that piece. That is about half what a problem-free AU would bring. While I think your piece is probably genuine, I'd confirm the weight and diameter just in case. There's something about it that doesn't look quite right to me. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

tailfins1959 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/17/2014 09:57 am Thanks for your input everybody. I put together a type set in a Capital Plastics holder to display on my dresser. I'm in that silver dollar at $430. The dealer did indeed sell it to me at half price, but as a $900 coin before the damage. Edited by tailfins1959 02/17/2014 09:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
