JJuliano Pillar of the Community United States 705 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 07:53 am I have been looking for an 1855 slanted 55 for some time and finally found one. Curiously, it is easier to find one with a knobbed ear than without. I am not looking for a knobbed ear. It looks nice and I would like to know if this is overpriced for the grade. What would be a fair reasonable price? There isn't much pricing for recent sales. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1855-Large-....m1438.l2649 Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 11:23 am I'm not impressed with the fingerprints. Heritage is a good source for past sales. If you want it, and are convinced it's graded correctly, then $90-$100 is a fair offer, and it's up to you where you go from there. https://www.ha.com/c/search-results...ilter-071515 Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 5:32 pm I just bought a raw 1856 AU for $51 shipped. Not exactly what you are looking for but similar. Good deals are out there, keep looking. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Liberty-185...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff

JJuliano Pillar of the Community United States 705 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 9:27 pm I have looked more closely at it and am now having second thoughts on it for the reasons previously mentioned(fingerprints). I will probably be moving on from it. Thanks for all opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
