Hi all, Picked up this 1859O SLD raw and for cheap. Obviously cleaned but I always wanted an example and this one was within my budget. Could anyone give a "details" grade for this, and a possible valuation in current condition as well? Thanks!

The 59-O is the most common of SLDs. This one is vf details cleaned/scratched. Still worth about $200 in my opinion. Lots to like about the coin if you can look past its shortcomings.
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."

I'd grade it VF-20 cleaned. $200 seems about right.
Rest in Peace

It's really not a bad looking beast. VF details, of course, but easily a $150-$200 coin, even cleaned.

It has good eye appeal, even though it has been cleaned. VF details, cleaned.

I'm still looking for two to fill the holes in my 7070.

Hopefully it's authentic, that weakness on the shield on the obverse bothers me a bit. I'd say VF-25/35 details with the obverse being the former and the reverse the latter.

Should make VF-20 details. Not bad.

Joe2007, I was going to say the same thing. The obverse is much more worn than the reverse. I would grade it vf20 obverse and vf35 reverse, of course details.
