Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 04/23/2008 10:26 pm I would grade this dime VF-30, with a scratch on the obverse. If problem free, VF-20: Retail $80, Wholesale $60 EF-40: Retail $260, Wholesale $200 My estimate of the problem-free VF-30 value: Retail $140, Wholesale $105 The scratch would probably reduce the value by 10-20%. Oh yeah ... welcome to the forum! Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 04/24/2008 01:26 am Welcome,Murty! I think this coin makes EF-40 for detail, but the scratches seriously hurt the value. Bilbo's price estimates look appropriate to me. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 04/24/2008 01:27 am I would grade a bit more generously, large '4' variety, EF-45 with a shot at AU details--possibly cleaned at some point but nicely struck. The scratch, however, is in too critical an area for me to only subtract 10-20%. The VF retail price of $140 would be in my value ballpark though. Report this Post to the Staff
desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 04/24/2008 03:30 am I would go EF- 45 also. Without in hand, it doesn't appear cleaned. The scratches might not appear as bad in real life as the magnification makes them stand out. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 04/24/2008 07:49 am I mention possible cleaning because of the dark areas around stars/date and note that if cleaned it was done in a way that does not detract. Report this Post to the Staff
