ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 9:46 pm Not bad, I think. Can't tell with those pictures, better hope they aren't hiding anything! Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 11:14 pm You overpaid a bit, but not by much as long as the coin is problem-free. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 11:20 pm I would recommend that you do not bid on any coin that has photos that you can not tell the luster and grade of the coin. Based on the information that is available from the photos the price you paid appears to be fair, but it looks like there could be a couple of large scratches on the obverse field.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 12:57 am I'd estimate between $25-$30 at present for an XF+ 1935 at most coin shows. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 3:39 pm Dunno. Looks like a pretty bad scratch in the left obverse field. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 5:14 pm Bid your maximum, then watch the fun. But don't bid again. The coin is XF, and looks scratched and polished. I would have bid $25 maximum. I lose, and I move on to the next auction and bid $25. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 02:02 am Usually there is a VAM premium. Frequently in the time spent identifying the VAM, but occasionally in monetary value. Report this Post to the Staff
