Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 5:30 pm Somewhere in the F12 range, but damaged. So a details grade. Probably F details Report this Post to the Staff
Dflogger New Member Canada 33 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 5:52 pm I'm trying to figure out value. I paid $45 for it, I feel like it was a fair price, until I can get a nicer one at the right price. Just trying to figure out if I did alright. Report this Post to the Staff
Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 6:04 pm yeah 45 is alright. Not too long ago we had a member who bought one that was completely beat up (as if someone took bb pellets to it, I think). And it was around the same details grade. He ended up reselling it for a little over $30. Report this Post to the Staff

techwriter Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 02/13/2016 4:48 pm with Paulsz, probably " F Details "; and the pics are really too dark for an 'accurate guesstimate'. Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 11:43 am Practicing good buying is almost as important as practicing grading. I find my upgrading coins that I now wish I would've waited for "when I can afford a better one". $45 is fair and you should be able to get that back but that's only because it's a key date, with other coins you wouldn't. Set grade goals for your collection and save for them. Filling slots with low grade examples will get costly in the long run. Happy collecting! Report this Post to the Staff
Dflogger New Member Canada 33 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 3:25 pm Thanks for the input Wade. For the past year I've been trying to do just what you said. Sometimes I get caught in the moment lol. I really appreciate the advice. Another reason I enjoy this forum. Report this Post to the Staff

Dflogger New Member Canada 33 Posts	Posted 02/15/2016 9:27 pm I thought it was Full Vine when I examined it, but wasn't sure. To bad for the damage. Report this Post to the Staff
