Hi all, would this piece be worth $95? I offered $70 and they came back with $95. Should I pull the trigger? Would you?

I would hold off until you find a problem free example,the problem isn't finding a problem coin for sale...its finding some one to buy it later on.

Since 2 posts happened simultaneously, let me clarify: I wouldn't buy that coin at that price.

People say that a problem coin is hard to buy.. and harder to sell...

So I would say it depends on how frequently you come across these...

Honestly.. I don't have one of these in my collection yet... I don't really like problem coins but I have made exceptions...

I may have split the difference and come back with a counter of 80-85 buck take it or leave it... to have the coin in hand.. but I don't come across that many 20 cent pieces

would NOT buy that coin. everybody above is correct

it is way over priced to leave wiggle room, tons of it for offers.

ya that is fair if it wasn't for the edge damage like everyone else is saying hold on wait and pass on this one. 120 CAD for a F-12 without details.

No, in an auction it's easy to snag a problem-free F-12 for $100. No point in paying $95 for this. This coin is worth, maybe $60-$70 depending on how bad the edge damage is.

zxcc u are right on. would not even pay 60 for it. Seller seems to have very "high flying" opinions about the prices of his stuff.

Agree with zxcccxz, price is too high for what you are getting, slabbed details. You can usually find about 10 on ebay at any time. For $120, you will likely find a nice vf20-30.
