Twangator Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 05/14/2009 1:50 pm Hello, I bought this coin off of an older friend that was going to get rid of his collection that was given to him by his father when he passed away. I noticed that this 1913-s is a key date (I have 2 of them and will post later), but I am not good at all in grading coins any ideas of what this will grade?

rkp Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 05/14/2009 2:18 pm I would agree with mycrob, F-15. My thought is the wreath is a little weak to be a full VF-20. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/14/2009 8:16 pm The reverse is in better condition than the obverse, I would grade this coin as F-15. Report this Post to the Staff
TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 05/15/2009 06:42 am There isn't a complete LIBERTY, normally that is required for a F-12. But, VG-10 seems to be too low. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 05/15/2009 09:37 am Yes, I was thinking that it is not full "Liberty" as well, which would technically give it a VG, but the reverse is really nice and the coin has great overall eye appeal. I think it would get a F12-15. Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 05/15/2009 4:39 pm I think I see pieces of all the letters in LIBERTY, and the ANA standard is for all the letters to be "weak but visible," so that's why I voted Fine. Report this Post to the Staff
Twangator Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 05/18/2009 1:26 pm Thank you all for your help. This being a key date is this worth slabbing? Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 05/18/2009 3:07 pm Slabbing coins simplifies selling them, but there's not much advantage otherwise. Everyone has different cutoff points for the value at which they advise slabbing, but paying the fees to grade a coin worth no more than $100 (like this one) is probably not a wise financial decision.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/19/2009 01:14 am I agree with those who said F12. I would not slab this coin. It's clearly authentic and worth about $90. Hang on to it! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/20/2009 12:05 am Worth more than $90, these things sell for CRAZY prices on ebay. You can expect easily $150 for it. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr Finger Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 05/20/2009 12:52 am Maybe I'm too conservative,but that looks like VG-10 to me....I dont see enough of liberty to to go as high as fine,,, Report this Post to the Staff
damcon3 Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 05/23/2009 8:51 pm I would call it F12 also, but vg,f,vf it is a beautiful and rare coin Report this Post to the Staff
