Would like your opinions on this 1855 slanted 55. Is it worth the price?

Thanks in advance

It's not a bad price as the coin itself is quite outstanding with no major distractions.

It's Best Offer. I'd toss $200 at it and see if it sticks.

Nice coin but overpriced.
Should be something more in the $150-200 range.

Bit steep for me as well, though it's a beauty.

Agree with Mox, throw 200 at it. Worst they could do is say no. Good looking coin.

Price guides are around $200, and actually aren't too far off for this one. The Slanted 55s without the "knob on ear" aren't that common. One sold on ebay last month for $143 (great deal,) and on Heritage for $188. $200 wouldn't be bad if you could get it. I might start lower, say $170. There's also a 10% ebay bucks deal floating around in some areas today if you can find it.

Pro tip: deal with them on this one directly through their website, where the asking price is already a bit lower....
