Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 05/21/2015 10:25 pm Well for starters the coin is neither AU nor does it have a nice color or nice surfaces as the seller describes. In my opinion the coin has VF details and has been harshly cleaned.I'd put the actual value of this coin around $250. Edited by Celticsoul 05/21/2015 10:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 04:53 am it's not much, if any, over a 35. insofar as missing something, the only thing I see missing here is a fishing pole. if the seller truly wanted to build a case for au territory, a reputable TPG slab would have definitely helped his/her cause.

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 05:15 am I agree, the coin is VF20 at best, and probably cleaned. A long, long way from AU+.... Edited by GERMANICVS 05/22/2015 05:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 06:23 am Wow... so it's now bid up roughly $1000 over actual value? Do these bidders know nothing of Heritage or Stack's or... a dozen other sources for such as this? What would possess anyone to pay that for such a coin? I don't get it. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 9:37 pm As my dad says there is a butt for every seat. Suckers born every second. People believe the sellers, and get incredibly ripped off. Lack of knowledge and education in coins. Report this Post to the Staff
