I just bought this, and would like to get other's opinions on grade and value. Also wondering if it looks like a clashed die or whatever, just above her bust. Thanks (seller's photos)   |

From what I see it definitely has been harshly cleaned. The scratches are NOT adjustment marks. The obverse will pull it into vf-20 details. I don't see anything that would warrant a graffiti designation.

I agree with VF Details. I saw your completed listing on ebay and while the price seems a little high it's hard to find a coin such as this for under $500. I would have estimated the retail value at $600 to $700. P.S. I see the seller was very low feedback with some high dollar coins such as: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1851-O-20-G...AOSwjk9ZXZWbBidding history shows you as the winner of the $13000 double eagle? There's a couple red flags here a you need to be alert for. Caveat Emptor. Edited by BH1964

Silver City is an auction house, and they just started using ebay. I buy from them through proxibid, and I guess all bids and wins through proxibid shows on ebay as the same bidder. I've bought stuff from them before, and so far everything's been great. As soon as I get the coin, it's going off to NGC. To me, it looks like there is a clash on the obverse, but I'll know more once it's in hand. |

Fine sharpness, cleaned and scratched with probable graffiti. It's still worth hundred dollars given the price of no problem examples of these coins.

vf details scratched and cleaned. agree w/ the frog.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Not much more here to add other than that is a clashed die mark above the Bust of Liberty.

I met to say "a few to several hundred dollars" instead of "hundred dollars." My iPad one finger typing is not the best.
