BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/19/2017 2:00 pm The image quality is not real sharp so I'll say AU55. This could easily be a low MS piece with a touch of strike weakness. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/19/2017 9:29 pm Quote: Sharper images Thanks. It clearly appears circulated in the new images. 53 or 55 sounds about right. A nice example of this slightly better Civil War date. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Scarp9603 Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 09/20/2017 5:45 pm Well, I think I should finally take a chance on a raw coin. I can get the 1861 $5 raw for $330. Melt is $314.55. I figure I'll come out OK as long as it's Genuine. Report this Post to the Staff

It appears to be in a TPG holder? $330 is very cheap too. $330 is about 50% of the retail value of this piece in AU55. This AU55 sold for $720 this month on Heritage: https://coins.ha.com/itm/a/1259-8080.s ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/20/2017 9:27 pm I'd buy it for $330 in a heartbeat. Better date, Civil War date and in decent condition. Worst case it's a $400 piece in AU Details and it looks better than that. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Scarp9603 Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 09/21/2017 07:45 am Would it be worth another $30 to have it sent off to PCGS for certification? Edited by Scarp9603 09/21/2017 07:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/21/2017 08:04 am If the gouge in the cheek is an old one then I'd go for it. If you can see fresh metal anywhere in that gouge then keep it raw. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
