thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 08/09/2018 08:47 am $80 was fair, but then you own a 20 cent piece. I have had a similar one for so long I've forgotten where it is.

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 08/09/2018 09:20 am I definitely wouldn't have. That is a good size area of damage, and the 1875-S is a relatively common date with plenty of problem-free examples out there. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
