moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 3:39 pm My opinion is that an ugly coin, even a rare ugly coin, will always be an ugly coin. This is a VERY ugly coin. Aren't there ZILLIONS of better places to spend $775? Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 4:17 pm My problem would be determining value. Certainly wouldn't want to get upside down in it. If I was positive I could get my $ back......sure, why not buy it. Do some research, then throw a low offer at it Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 4:18 pm No. I can appreciate some problem coins, but this one is far too ugly for me to appreciate. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 4:27 pm Don't do it, man. How on earth could you be sure you'd get your money back? It's a dog. Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 4:34 pm I'm sure it's real. It's just the damage that concerns me. For say $200 I'd buy it in a heartbeat, probably even at $300. Any higher and it is a risky purchase. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 4:59 pm You need some fast cash. You take this to your local coin buyer. What do you think they will offer? 1804 or not, listen to the masses... Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188415 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 5:03 pm I am glad I do not collect the series. Filling that one hole in the 7070 would be painful if the 1804 was typical for the type.

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 5:10 pm That coin is worth about $250-300. Not a cent or penny more. Report this Post to the Staff
Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 5:11 pm I know this coin is rare and all that, but remember problem coins will always be problem coins. Don't buy a coin just to say you have one. I would save up for a better example; you will not regret it. Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 6:03 pm I don't like offering any less than half the asking price. Think I'll put it on my watch list and see where it goes. Report this Post to the Staff
randyK Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 10:45 am I think $425 is reasonable Report this Post to the Staff
EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 11:03 am It's probably "worth" half the asking price. I echo those above who wouldn't buy it. Report this Post to the Staff
