small_fortune_ Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 01:43 am I saw a listing for a 1798 draped bust large cent. As you can tell, the obverse is nice enough, but the nick on the reverse on the "n" and "e" worries me. Any help putting a reasonable price on this would be appreciated as I'm not particularly knowledgeable of how much a scratch takes away from a coin's value. The listing price is $495. Would it be a rip off? Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 01:49 am $495 maybe for a problem free Coin. This one is a problem Coin because of the gouge and obverse pit. $250-275 IMO swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
