TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 6:33 pm Thinking about getting this one. Sorry about the pics, but they are from the dealer, who seemed to be in a hurry. What do you grade it as and what do you value it as? My only concern is that there's a potential cleaning. What do you guys think? Edited by TypeCoin971793 09/27/2014 6:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 10:27 pm The value depends on the variety. I can't tell which. Nice coin though. I see an F12 or 15. Anywhere from $200 to $$700 depending. Report this Post to the Staff

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 11:59 pm If it's a 269 I wouldn't go much over $200 or so. Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 08:15 am VF20, I think. However, the reverse looks odd though I can't say why. Perhaps it's been photographed at an angle. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 6:22 pm VF20 - Is it cleaned? Most likely, almost all coins this old have been through either an old cleaning or somewhat of a conservation effort. When you begin to see darker areas or verdigris in recessed areas of the coin you probably have a cleaned coin, as time goes on, and if you study many coins you will begin to notice color changes, some subtle, some obvious that allude to a cleaning. This coin has been cleaned at some point, though it's not harsh and that is good. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
