Am at an auction today and there is this little beauty for sale. Anyone have thoughts on the grade? Looks authentic to me looking at NGC photos too. Thanks!   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I think I see a spiked chin (though the obverse photo is angled away, so I can't be sure). That, plus other details, has me thinking this is Cohen variety C-8, and I would grade it about VF20. Looks nice and problem-free, at least from these photos.
Raw, I would expect it to sell around $100-150. Certified by PCGS or NGC in a problem-free holder, $200-$250.

I'd put full retail as it is at about $125.00. Nice low VF with no apparent problems that would put a detail grade.

OK kind of had to battle for it, but was able to get it for $95. Needed one for my type album and this one didn't seem problematic at all!

As long as the surfaces are as nice in hand as they appear in the pics, I would say $100 is a fair price to pay for this coin.

Nice, and it does look, straining your eyes a bit, like a spike-chin variety. F12 to F15 would be my grade.
I think I can also see a series of parallel lines at the border in front of the neck which is also typical of one of the 3 spiked chin varieties.

Agree VF-20 or so and most attractive.
