Not bad for $43 total. Looks high fine to low very fine. May be a details coin but still worth several hundred regardless. How you think I did and grade wise?

F12 Details harshly cleaned and possibly rim damage on the obverse.

I may take it to a local dealer who needs key dates so I am hoping to flip it and make at least 2x my $

Bargain-priced and appropriately so given the level of damage. If you can flip it at a profit that's great but I think most Barber collectors would either stretch for a problem-free Fine or settle for a worn but original AG or Good example.

It has problems for sure but doesn't look horrible with those pictures. Not my type. Good luck flipping it.

Probably best to keep this for yourself. About what someone would pay for such a damaged coin.

Worst case coin has a 30 day hassle free return policy if I cannot flip it. Basically I either make $ or send it back and get my money back. No harm no foul.

There are also two giant hits that put dents into the obverse.

Works as a hole filler but not one you will make any money on.

That kind of attitude is what makes me put No return on un-slabbed coins.

You bought it, it isn't the sellers fault if you overpaid and can't make a profit on it. That is pretty unethical.

I agree with a little of everyone's comments on this coin.

Ugly junk "Genuine" grade, yet alone ungradable piece. F details but too many problems which keeps it from even getting a details grade, it'd just get a PCGS Genuine grade, if you sent it to PCGS that is.

One with LESS problems then this one, and a VG-10 or so sold for $53
