echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 9:35 pm I'd say VF-20 cleaned and pitted on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 04/21/2009 12:10 am Thank you Echizento, I like this one a lot.So small and nice looking. I got 2 Victoria 3d's with it as well but nowhere near this quality condition. Report this Post to the Staff
Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 04/21/2009 8:48 pm This is what they call the Old or Widow Head Victorian 6p. It is .925 silver, diameter is 19mm and weighs 3.01 grams. I would put this in the VF category. It is pitted but that shouldn't detract from the value much. I can't tell if it's been cleaned or not and would need a closer inspection. In this grade it is valued at approximately £9 based on my 2007 Rotographic and the price hasn't changed much from this. The exchange rate for today is $1.46 which would equal $13.14. Not bad for a bulk find. Congratulations, it's a very nice looking coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 04/23/2009 07:38 am $5 for the whole lot? Man! What a sweet deal! I wish I could find deals like that. Report this Post to the Staff
wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 04/24/2009 3:13 pm The deals are out there Raider , just needs the time applied to find them. I think quite honestly this past year has been a great year to buy,not so great if you have to sell.I dont make the market and pay the asking price,its staggeringly low. Right now I'm working on Seated dimes as I got all the rosies,mercs and barbours , I'm constantly amazed when I see asking prices and then go see actual prices. Consistently I'm getting Seated dimes in better than good condition for around 4-5 bucks. Im no coin grader I just wont buy worn coins,there are all very good and some amazingly good.Patience and timing mate. Report this Post to the Staff
