Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/11/2014 03:06 am 1866 1868 (the legend on the reverse didn't scan well but is fully legible) Now I have started to get some idea about grading US coins, so I really would to hear opinions for confirmation. Also a question which I still have no answer for: Is any holed older US coin worthless or does it still have some value? Report this Post to the Staff

wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 11/11/2014 09:11 am Hi Medieval! I would grade the 1866 as G-4, and the 1868 G details, holed. The 1868 still has some value, but not much. A few bucks maybe? Less than $10. Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/12/2014 05:31 am Thanks for the further comments. My personal assessment was ~G for the 1866 and ~VG details for the 1868, but I do have the advantage to see the coin rather than a scan - the 1868 has both a clear legend and 'lines' down the shield and across in the lower part. Main purpose of showing the 1868 was to get a comment on my added question. Report this Post to the Staff
