4 holes, you grade. Quite a bit of detail left, bought this for a dollar at my LCS... Amazing deal! The details are just stunning. XF details? AU details?   |

Somehow, the word "details" seems insufficient here (  ). But, it certainly is XF, what's left of it! Most unusual. Great pick-up.  |

An XF 1837 Small date, or a large date (doesn't matter in this grade) is a $300 coin in XF40. Wonder if I could squeeze $100 out of it?

Start at $125 so you have some negotiating room.

$125 Buy it Now w/ OBO? Sounds good to me. Going to wait for more opinions, of course. Probably won't list it for a while. Open to offers too.

Shouldn't give away your cost in original post, bad strategy. Offer $2 if free postage.

High VF-low XF details. A shame about the damage, but I bet that was a nice bracelet in its day.

I really don't think you'd get more than a few dollars for that. You'll need to have someone who want to make a vintage jewelry piece. You should just locate more Half Dimes and dimes with holes like this and make your own bracelet and sell that for several hundred. |

Definitely NOT EF details. VF details. You'll NEVER see three digits for this coin; you'll be lucky to get two. ebay would probably get you $10 at most. Keep it for your type set. Typically, damaged coins like this sell for 5-10% of problem-free value, and maybe 20% if the coin is an exceptionally desirable coin, or 50% if the coin was expertly plugged. This one falls in the 5-10% category. Edited by TypeCoin971793

The holes being somewhat symmetrical and not on Liberty's portrait makes the eye appeal pretty nice considering.
Definitely a great buy at $1 but you won't be sniffing $100 for resale. You might as well not even look at book value for a coin with this kind of damage.
I'm thinking you might be able to squeeze $20 out of it.

Looks like CHD is well on his way to a unique bracelet.
How about a consecutive date run of 4-holers?

I'd suspect it would sell for at least $10 on ebay. Certainly a nice purchase at $1. I'd do it too in a heartbeat. Maybe you could start a holed coin collection, on another forum there was/is a regular poster that has a holey coin hat covered with coins of all different eras and denominations. Neat inexpensive side collection idea. |

TypeCoin, in VF/XF it catalogs around $300-500 if I'm not mistaken...
5-10% off problem free = still three digits
