I understand that valuing "damaged" or "details" coins can be more of an art than a science, as the market for them is probably a bit smaller than those of "straight grading coins," but I am wondering how you all would value this coin. I bought this coin in 2001 knowing full well it was cleaned. I think the details are EF(40)--how much does this coin's cleaning knock it down? Report this Post to the Staff

Those black stripes are likely caused from contact with a rubber band or from just sitting on top of a rubber band. A nice EF40 coin has a retail value of $390.00 currently I'd go with half that or slightly less, so right in the same ballpark as Slider23 mentioned. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
