edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 7:47 pm The reverse definitely looks better. Maybe cleaned at some point. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 8:28 pm VF-30 details and rather harshly cleaned, probably over-dipped. An original coin in this grade is worth quite a bit; unfortunately this piece has lost some of its potential value. Report this Post to the Staff

jetsetwilly New Member Serbia (Srbija) 22 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 05:31 am Given its condition and the fact that it was probably cleaned what would be the approx value? Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 10:56 am The PCGS price guide shows $325 in VF-20 grade. This guide is generally high retail for PCGS-graded coins; you can usually find quality certified pieces for less than the stated values. At a guess your "problem" coin might find a buyer at $100; I suspect however most collectors would be put off by the cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 6:47 pm Definitely harshly cleaned because you cannot see any skirt details in the obverse, overall I'd give it a VF20-25 grade, but its value is seriously hurt because of the issues. Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscoinz Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 6:55 pm Just an observation, looks like the rim is a little thicker on the obverse on one side than the other. Lol :) Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36710 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 10:35 am There has been rim repair work done to eliminate some nics and bumps. That's probably the reason for a wider rim on both sides. Report this Post to the Staff
