cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 09:10 am 1811 is a tough year because of the poor quality copper and I had to compromise on some I bought because of that. However, damage is a very different situation. It's too much damage to make it of interest to me at any price - just my opinion of course. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/19/2021 12:15 pm Quote: I would put the money toward a undamaged example. I do happen to know where there is a real nice mint state example in PCGS MS66 RB for only $126,000 A nice uncirculated one will run around low to mid 5 figures, an AU in the high 4 figures touching 5 figures, VF's are in the $5K range any thing less is low thousands, if nice straight graded. Damaged or detail coins can be had in the $200-500 range often enough. But these are still rare, many serious Sheldon set collectors will get a low grade one to fill the hole only to upgrade when a nicer one finally appears in the market. Which isn't all that often. Here is a CCF thread on one back in 2015, a really nice raw VG8. https://goccf.com/t/236257 "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 05/19/2021 12:50 pm That is rather severe damage, so i'll join the other members in saying pass for a better example. I'd rather have some light corrosion or granularity, but not this extensive damage. Report this Post to the Staff
hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 05/19/2021 2:49 pm I would consider a rare coin with very minor damage confined to the fields. However, heavier damage or damage which extends into the portrait or design details I simply find too distracting. Just my personal opinion, though! Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Others are suggesting a problem free coin. I did get a PCGS VG10 but the price was around $400. Maybe I paid too much - I'm a collector and not a dealer.
