vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 5:44 pm I've got it at VG details. Would I pay $950 for it? No. The price isn't ridiculously unreasonable but yeah, more than I'd pay. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Oh, I see what you mean... a ding early in life that was then worn over. Interesting! Hm. I still think it looks like a rim break. But yes, that should have a variety assigned to it, one would think. I'll just be sitting here watching and learning... Report this Post to the Staff

EarlyTurban Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 10:32 pm Looks real... a weight test would help determine final say. It's been beaten up, cleaned, and looks damaged - possibly even holed/repaired. Unless this is the look you're going for, I'd wait for another one that you could pick up at the same price, but looks way better. ET Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 05/05/2015 11:47 am I think it was also a combination of the seller's lighting that made me think it was copper-nickel. Just had that look, and I don't trust any non-slabbed Bust Dollar for a second. Report this Post to the Staff

That may well go to the heart of the matter, an ebay business model whereby "details" certified specimens are bought cheap, broken out, and resold. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
