It's a pleasing example but I see a few on ebay that ended in the $40-$50 range. Does anyone have an idea on grade and value? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

That said, I don't see ny obvious flattening of the eagle's claw grasping the snake, so it may well be uncirculated, and the bit of toning is encouraging. The sort of specimen for which I wouldn't be too concerned about overpaying $10. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 05/28/2014 6:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

However I just checked and Krause Lists the coin at XF: $22.5 UNC: $100. So I mean, there isn't a value for AU. I don't think the coin is UNC, I believe there is wear of the eagle's belly and the high points of the wings. Still AU-55 isn't out of the question. Do you think $60 is a fair price?

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 12:41 am All the high points I zero in on - the eagle's claw (as mentioned previously), the snake's body across the breast, and the snake's body where is crosses the lower beak - look good in the photo. There might be a hint of wear on the upper left (as you view the coin) wing joint, but that's also a spot that can be weakly struck. Unless it has hairlines in the fields that aren't showing up in the images, it appears to be an awfully high grade example to me. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
