Just got an itch to purchase one of these - what are your thoughts?   |

So this is a '3 leaves' variety. I think you found your vg-8. I do see what looks like adjustment marks in the right field on the obverse. Or at least I hope those are adjustment marks. They could be scratches. As a rule of thumb, you want to try to avoid coins with adjustment marks. Mr. Bill Jones taught me this early on in my pursuit of pre-1800 dollars. But yeah, I would say vg-8. It's unlikely that you will be able to buy this coin for a good price on ebay. Edited by MikeF

I mean paying grey sheet prices as opposed to this: https://www.greysheet.com/cdn-colle...ice-guidanceThe industry's latest response to the transparency 'problem' that has eroded dealer margins. All thanks to the transparency of the internet. It's a double edged sword and I understand both sides of the argument. |

If this is indeed a problem free vg-8 the current grey sheet price according to Heritage is $2000. You can view it on this link: https://coins.ha.com/itm/a/1234-3634.sJust scroll down to the bottom of the page. Look for the CDN price. That's assuming that Heritage has updated the CDN price guide recently. Edited by MikeF

Probably VG-8 straight grade by PCGS.

 With the VG-08. The parallel lines in the right lower field of the obverse appear to be adjustment marks. In my book, I'd rather have adjustment marks than scratches. This appears to be a completely original coin. These are tough to get this way, hence the price of about $1800-$2000. Note that this coin, like many of the early issues, does NOT fall into a set PRICE GUIDE. The actual eye appeal is probably more important than the technical grade, or at least equal in importance. If you view Heritage, which has been recommended to you already, you will have the best possible view of what similar coins are actually selling for. Even if you filter to VG, you will have a huge range of prices for the same grade because of the differentiation of eye appeal. Remember to filter to MOST RECENT. Otherwise you could be looking at sales a decade or more old. |

Honesty, the only real way to place a value on them is to sell them at auction. But even then, you risk getting into a bidding war and overpaying for them. Are you confused yet?   |

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."
