TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 07:33 am I am thinking about selling this coin in order to pay for one I am interested in. What should I expect to get. I paid $45 for this coin many years ago from Bill Fivaz as an EF-40. That is what I am hoping to sell it for. Is that reasonable? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 4:54 pm I think it's a super coin - nice and clean with great coloring. Textbook EF-40. You might be lucky to break even on it after ebay and Paypal fees, unfortunately. Hang on to it if you can! Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9794 Posts	Posted 01/23/2016 03:43 am It's a solid EF40 to me, It should be in the $40-45 range. As mentioned the prices really haven't changed much on these coins in a long time. Now if it had the full serif on the D in UNITED it would be worth a few dollars more on the plain 5 logotype date, a full serif on the fancy 5 coins is a really tough variety, unfortunately there are only a handful of us deuce variety collectors willing to pay any premium to get them, the variety wouldn't matter to 99.9% of the rest of the collecting world. P.S. This looks like the Plain 5 to me not the Fancy 5. The Plain 5 is a bit more uncommon than the fancy, but no premium on this one. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 01/24/2016 5:33 pm XF-40. I've never seen an XF two center with this much original luster left on it. Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 01/24/2016 6:59 pm The thing is, I don't think it is original luster... I was really surprised, and happy, that you guys didn't say cleaned. I wasn't sure, but Bill Fivaz sold it to me as problem-free. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/24/2016 8:44 pm It actually looks very original. I think it will bring decent money; ugly Two Cent Pieces are all over ebay, but the prettier ones actually do well. List its provenance as "ex: Bill Fivaz" and get more money.
