What grade and value would you expect? Image: USAVCents.jpg 56.03 KB Edited by b2933 08/14/2008 10:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

wheatie New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/14/2008 09:39 am By the way, that is an 1884. Hard date, ashame it is holed, should still bring a few bucks Report this Post to the Staff

bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 08/14/2008 7:30 pm I must agree with Patrick, it def looks drilled. Still that is a much better date coin in the series and even damaged like that would be worth at least VG money Report this Post to the Staff

b2933 New Member Germany 8 Posts	Posted 08/15/2008 04:50 am Thanks a lot for your replies. I do not own a catalogue listing that date. Could someone pleaset tell me the catalogue-values for G,VG,F,VF-Conditions ? Report this Post to the Staff
SpringCypress Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 08/15/2008 05:16 am I'm not seeing $20... It does have good details, but that one big glaring ugly spot is enough that I think it's going to drop it down quite a bit... I know if I had the choice of picking that one or an undamaged AG, I'd go with the AG. Pretty good date. Were you to offer it to me for $5 I wouldn't buy... $2 and I might... So for me the value would probably be somewhere in between those 2 Report this Post to the Staff
bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 08/15/2008 10:11 am Call it 20, 30 , 40 , 60 for the grades g through vf. I probably misspoke though saying you could get VG money. Probably $20 is about right, or g-4 money in that case. Honestly its a nice coin for the damage and I think its nicer than an AG. I personally own two lib nickels both XF details 1884,1888 that have corrosion issues. They were purchased for a song, but I wouldn't trade them for scads of AGs Report this Post to the Staff

What grade and value would you expect? The "hole" ruins it and de-values it completely, no matter what the date and mint mark for some......others would take it if it was a key date and the "holed coin" would fill a "hole" in an album. IMHO......it's what you'll accept and keep that matters. If it works out that you didn't pay much for it and it came with those other coins in a grouping.......then no big deal. The "value" ......well......if that was an 1885....I'd still be jumping up and down....but the '84.....I personally wouldn't pay much for a "holed" common date coin.......I don't own any, nor do I want any. It's only a matter of opinion on this coins value....... Report this Post to the Staff
