tryingmybest Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 11:50 am Hello, I am going through my mothers older collection (all ungraded) as she wished for me to sell it for my father. As I consider which coins warrant grading or pricing, I just want to get some of your thoughts on this coins grade. Thank you in advance Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7626 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 2:21 pm Harshly cleaned/whizzed. Worth around silver melt value at most coin shops. An individual collector might pay a little bit above melt for it. Report this Post to the Staff
NDBirdman Pillar of the Community United States 747 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 4:00 pm Is that whizzed, or overly dipped? I would think it would take an acid to pit a coin, or any metal that bad. Agreed though, melt value. Report this Post to the Staff

tryingmybest Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 06:00 am Thank you everyone- Have never dipped or whizzed and so have not seen the potential damage done if performed harshly/incorrectly. Her other coins are in very circulated to high mint state. I'm also a variety seeker so going through them carefully. This was not typical and so wanted an opinion and appreciate the education. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
