CoinAdvocate Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 10:00 pm Hey guys, picked this up today for a reasonable price and was curious what you think about in terms of grading. There's a major flaw on the obverse, a kind of gouge or smushing has occurred and the coin is damaged but otherwise looks pretty good. Thank you all CoinAdvocate It is not enough to merely enjoy coins; one must Advocate for them! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinAdvocate Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 10:56 pm So if a very fine value coin is worth $171, what does the damaged aspect do to affect the price? What is a reasonable value for this coin? It is not enough to merely enjoy coins; one must Advocate for them! Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 12:46 am Agree with SD2017. This is more damage than most collectors want to see. Stick around and you will learn what to look for in coins that most collectors appreciate. Report this Post to the Staff

Even rim denticles suggest genuine. Value? 30% to 40% of VF pricing. The field has been affected, but the design has not, that is a plus for this coin. I have an example in about the same condition, but without that sort of damage. I suspect that I paid slightly too much for mine (light scratches and cleaned), at the time of purchase.

Finding customers for coins that are damaged/cleaned is almost always difficult, unless it's a very rare issue. If you have the option of returning this coin, do so immediately. You can find a nice VF Trade dollar in a PCGS slab that's not damaged on ebay easily. Edited by SilverDollar2017 05/02/2018 09:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 2:20 pm Sounds about right. Not much appeal in this one. Report this Post to the Staff
