If original and undamaged this date would likely sell for around $3000. I expect this one would be hard to sell even at $500. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7617 Posts	Posted 10/19/2022 12:09 pm to the Community! The hole, along with the other visible damage, really hurts this coin. It is just an album filler in my opinion and only worth 10 to 20% of what an undamaged coin would sell for on a good day. Any offers would probably be worth less than that.

Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 10/19/2022 2:27 pm It's become a hole filler, but even then how many "entry level" sets are going to want to tie up cash in this? Given a choice between an eye appealing F2-AG3 and this, I'd go with the F2. There is value, but it will take time and a big discount to get cash for it.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5666 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 11:46 am Some holes are less distracting than others. This one is particularly bad. I agree that the large hole and pockmarked surfaces would leave the value at around 10-20% of an undamaged coin of similar grade. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a very delicate and time consuming process that is not cheap. It usually results in a better looking coin BUT the repair and re-engraving will always be detectable. Never hurts to send it off for an estimate. Do an online search for "coin restoration service". Remember though that the coin will never straight grade no matter what is done to it.
