Hello everyone, Could you live with the graffiti on this coin for 10% over melt? ( And negotiable from there)... Thanks! R.  |

Just remember what you'll be up against when you eventually come to sell it.

@coinfrog, I know you're right and I knew that but it feels good to post sometimes for validation.
Thanks!

I like escudos, haven't purchased one yet but if the price was right I may be able to live with the graffiti... You always have the gold value to fall back on.
I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

I posted a pretty wide selection of gold world coins on another thread... And the only coin that appeals to me on any rational (irrational?) level is this 1777 2 escudo. The coins are at post 212 or such... http://goccf.com/t/261670 |

Not much risk if you can get it for less than 10% over melt. It'll always be worth at least bullion value at resale.

I would get it for 10% over melt. 5% over would be even better.

Let it melt. So much nice looking eighteenth century gold coins to choose from at melt value now. Save a better one.

Forum members are a lot more divided on this coin than I thought.
I am attracted to the date ... 1777 having some significance to me as an American. I know it's not 1776 ... If it were I'd have bought it but I'm on the fence on this one.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

@jbuck, I think I posted a single coin once that had unanimous agreement on grade. So you're right!

You can always count on at least one dissenter when Coinfrog posts a comment.  |

Maybe it is just late in the day, but the graffiti is not as annoying and the reverse tone in interesting and somewhat appealing.
