Thanks panzaldi, what do you suppose the value of it would be around, all things considered?

vg10 details cleaned ~$500
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."

G-06 details, cleaned.
If I had to keep it, I'd shell out $50 for it. To sell, I would be willing to pay a bit higher.
Key dates, ESPECIALLY low-grade, damaged ones, are a very poor buy, and you will always lose money.

 Could you re-phrase that, please - not sure of your point. Edited by Coinfrog

Thanks so much for all the help everyone. Basically, I bought an almost complete Indian head set today at an estate sale for what I believed was a great deal ($500). I took the set to my LCS and they looked over and said most of the coins have been washed however, I should have absolutely no problem getting my money back and then some. And from the looks of things it sounds like this was an amazing deal even with the coins being washed! :). Here's the set...    |

Awesome buy with all the keys. Only missing the 64-L. Congratulations.

Good buy. VG8 is possible on the 1877. 1876? How is the reverse on it? 1869 checked for double die? Check the 1888 for the overdate yet? 08 S and 09 S are in the set as well. If you had to turn the 1877 to get your funds out of the set immediately, I would send to a TPG for grade. No doubt in my mind that it is genuine, would just make it easier to sell with a grade on the slab. |
