QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 9:45 pm Picked this up for around $30, which I'm happy with considering the grade and rarity. I'm thinking VG Details (scratched) for the grade. Could be G Details, but I think it just reaches VG. Should be valuable even with the scratches. My first really experience cherry-pick to add to the collection! Edited by QuarterHoarder72 01/26/2021 9:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 9:46 pm Oh yeah, that's it alright! Amazing pick! Nice doubled die all around and certainly not too easy to find. Congrats! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 9:48 pm Thanks CH27! And thanks for sharing the pickup point with the ES of states a while back. Very helpful for low grade examples. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 9:58 pm With "United" almost completely gone, I'd say G-04 at best. Edited by Coinfrog 01/27/2021 11:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 10:07 pm You're probably right. I have a hard time grading still, but I'm getting better. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 10:32 pm Please explain further why you think this is S1. Die markers, etc. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 10:41 pm I believe it to be S-1 because of the nose and eye doubling as well as the ES of states. It matches all points of doubling on a higher grade example of this variety. Although my coin is too worn to see the die gouge on the reverse, this is no doubt S-1. No normal coin would have the amount of strong doubling this die has.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 10:57 am Coinfrog, QH is correct in saying this is a snow-1. The nose doubling and the ES of states both match up and the eye doubling is still somewhat visible. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 01:38 am i would think it might make G-4 sharpness. Without seeing the doubling in the LIBERTY how much can the coin go for? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 11:36 am A straight grading example in G-4 is a $90-$100 coin. Some can go for as much as $150+ depending on the buyer. Even damaged coins go for quite a bit. Here are some examples: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1873-Close...46890.l49292 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1873-CL3-I...46890.l49292 The sellers accepted offers but based on the asking prices I can't see these going for less than $100 each. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
