echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/28/2009 9:25 pm This looks like a pocket coin for a person with the initals LK. Detail wise it would grade at VG-8. Report this Post to the Staff
coretj Valued Member United States 436 Posts	Posted 12/28/2009 9:44 pm Does the LK lower the grade? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/28/2009 9:53 pm Yes, With the initials it is not really a gradable coin any longer. and it's only worth melt value. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6406 Posts	Posted 12/29/2009 12:50 am It should be worth well over melt, given that the 1903-O is a much better date. In no-problem VG grade it lists for over $300 retail. It may have other issues than just the counterstamp. The color is odd, the 3 in the date appears damaged or misshapen, and the coin appears slightly off-centered with an extra-wide rim from about 2:00 to 7:00. I'd check the weight and carefully inspect for other damage and/or evidence that it might be a counterfeit. If it is genuine I expect it should still be worth $50 or more.
