Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 1:41 pm Found this in my relative's hoard; used some verdicare on it to conserve the coin. What is the grade and how much is it worth in your opinion? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 2:41 pm Xf. Carbon spots, heavy scratches, porosity/corrosion. Not a very pretty coin. Report this Post to the Staff

batboy Pillar of the Community United States 650 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 9:13 pm I agree, it's not pretty and it's been cleaned and scratched, corroded, and circulated a lot. But if this is really a 1864 L and you can see the L (which I can't in those photos), then I bet this sad and abused little Indian is probably worth more than $5 or $10 even as a details coin. Seems like there is a way to tell even if the L is worn and can't be seen. doesn't the 1864 bronze have a rounded bust and the 1864 L and newer a pointed bust? I'm with Bandsdean: XF details corroded. Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 10:06 am Parts of the coin show EF details, but then it has environmental damage, very old physical damage and recent scratches. It all adds up to a "no grade" and very little value, unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff
