GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/07/2010 8:46 pm I am looking at a couple of Twenty Cent coins, to fill the hole in my 7070. Please give me your thoughts on grade and what would be a good price range for this coin. http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...0,0&format=0 Edited by GR58 06/07/2010 9:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 06/07/2010 10:25 pm Looks like an EF coin, some wear on the wings, and the chest is a bit dinged, face is worn perhaps EF 40 Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/07/2010 11:01 pm EF45 LIBERTY and shield lines are strong and there is a nice amount of luster on the reverse. One point of concern is that there appears to be some light horizontal wipe marks on the obverse. I would probably want to see this coin in hand before I would purchase it.

TDColl Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 06/07/2010 11:19 pm Looks EF, there is a substantial rim nick around 2:00 rev. and it looks like the rim was filed to minimize it. Would not look bad in a 7070 if discounted appropriately. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 08:21 am Thank you all for the good input. Had to take a second look. One of my problems is when I see a coin I like or want, I see the good points of that coin. It sometimes takes a second or third look for me to see the negative points. Your input helped me see the coin as it is. This coin is at $245.00. Which I think it about XF price. I think I will look around to see what else I can get. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 08:35 am I think that's a good choice. It's a pretty nice looking coin - and these can be hard to find in the EF or better range - but I think this coin is priced at the top for the grade. Combined with the questions raised, I think it's wise to pass. For comparison purposes, I bought a PCGS XF-45 1875-S for my 7070 earlier this year for $265. Took quite a while to find.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 11:47 am Is the seller by chance "fairtraderz", or something to that extent? It kind of looks like their photography. Many of their coins looks somewhat cleaned to me, but I really like the color and luster on the reverse! I'd definitely consider it if I could talk him down in price a bit.
