Looking into a Trade dollar for the 7070. What does this grade in your opinion, and what is an appropriate price to pay for it? Thanks for all help   |

There's enough detail there to pull a F-15 straight grade. Value about $130

Looks genuine, and is worth around $120 to me.

No problems evident and nice for a low Fine grade. Worth in the $110-$130 price range.

Thanks everyone. I negotiated it down to $130. I should take the deal right?

That's kind of tight. I like the coin, but I don't love it - obverse spots and possible prior cleaning. I'd say $125 tops - if you don't get it, there will be a similar one coming along soon.  |

Going up into the VF grade gives you a much more detailed coin for little difference in price. Trade dollars are heavily counterfeited. Recommend TPG which won't cost much more and is much less likely to have been cleaned. |

I'd buy a details coin in a TPG holder and crack it out before I bought a raw Trade, unless I was very confident in the dealer, or in my knowledge of the coins, or both.

As far as cost, a few cheeseburgers one way or the other doesn't really matter. If you like it, and if it's for your 7070 you'd better, go ahead and make the deal. paralyse makes a good point above, though.

Thanks everyone. I am going to go for VF + in a holder and crack it out. I see them for sale for $150-200 which isn't much more than this one. Appreciate all the advice!
