I have the option to buy this coin for $165 USD. VF-20 trends for $150 in Charlton while XF-40 gets $225. I would expect this to be somewhere in between, maybe a 30 or even a 35? I guess what I want to know is, will I be getting a good deal?   Cheers! Edited by pattiewhack

Not when you can get aa ICCS VF-30, with a BIN of 150. (on the bay)

Just checked the Bay. Didn't see one this nice but one was close. It was only $158 shipped and it was not certified. I'd check it out before I bought this one. Although this one is a beautiful coin.

1 month ago I bought an ICCS 1858 ef-40 for $180. so I'd say you can do better.

Not a good deal at all. Would pay a maximum of USD120 for it

I guess it depends on why you would want that particular coin. If you are a variety collector, this is decent example of 1 of only 2 obverse dies that coined both 1858 and 1859/8 coins. This is a late die state so it had coined both by this point. Having both a 58 and a 9/8 with the same obverse is quite cool.

There are some pretty distracting marks on her face and nose... I'd probably steer clear for that money.

VF. I wouldn't pay $165.00. I agree the scratches on the face are distracting. $100.00-$120.00 tops.

Just curious whether that pic was from a dealer. You rarely see photos of the coin that look that great on ebay. It leaves you guessing sometimes if it is worth the money to bid on. |

It's VF, good details but does show some wear. I always focus on the hair and leaf details, and the one shown here has most of those. It would easily fetch $150. Just my humble opinion.
