luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 7:37 pm Things went backwards on this one and I ended up paying $265 after ship and fees. Ahh crud I thought after auction. It arrived - I warmed up to it after studying it a few times. Tough little date these 1897 S's I tracked about 7 and all went full price guide or slightly over by 10-15%. $180-20.00 was what I thought I could get it for...wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 8:37 pm I can not go higher than G06 and the value is about $200. If the coin graded VG8, it is over graded. The VG8 puts the coin in the price range that you paid. The scratch might get me off the coin at G06. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 8:55 pm I like this one listed on ebay better than the OP example, and it is priced at $204 with free shipping. Edited by Slider23 05/03/2022 8:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 10:49 pm Close to G-04 but I'll say G-06 . With that reverse rim it can go either or . Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 05/04/2022 12:44 am Solid G06. Obverse hairlines and neck hit detract, sans those, good eye appeal. Yet another that's on the verge of VG sharpness with weak rims. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36454 Posts	Posted 05/04/2022 08:12 am VG obverse but the reverse will hold this to G-6. Report this Post to the Staff

I posted another 1897 S in a PCGS holder that is for sale at $204 vs $265 for the OP example. Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 05/05/2022 10:25 am It grades G-6 and would / should have bought a 10 ounce bar from SDBullion LOL. Nice looking G+ though for an 1897 S $50-60 over priceguide ain't so great - live and learn, thanks for opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
