shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 09/09/2006 08:36 am Mine looks similar, I would say F12 Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 09/09/2006 11:13 am Go for it! I know that you've wanted one! With the definition in the feathers you should be looking at a VFine, possibly an Extra Fine coin. I've seen them like this graded both ways. As for value, I don't have my books handy. Maybe Metalman will chime in for you! Edited by dsking 09/09/2006 11:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 09/09/2006 1:46 pm Hi Tim I see the coin as a VF-25 maybe 30 in hand the details are there for this grade.it will not make EF unless some of the loss of detail on the breast and tail can be attributed to a strike weakness which was all things considered fairly common to the series. Value is rough right now on these , they are a sleeping giant and are beginning to stir,, this coin could if on ebay top out above 50 bucks possibly as high as 75 Rick Report this Post to the Staff
B12 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 09/09/2006 2:23 pm For the grade I'd say F15.To much wear to go higher. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/09/2006 3:49 pm I haven't looked at the other responses yet, but I'd have to say F15. In my opinion, there is a little too much wear in the tail for a VF grade. Very nice coin, though. Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 09/09/2006 3:57 pm At least Choice VF, trying to be XF, but it depends what it looks like in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 09/12/2006 5:54 pm Well I missed it of course. It was on ebay. Starting bid was $30.00 and "Buy it Now" for $34.00. Looking in the Red Book, I figured it was worth about $34.00, so I was waiting for the last second to bid the minimum amount of $30.00, but someone did a "Buy it Now" at the last 2 hours. I guess it was not meant to be. I will keep my eyes out for another one. Thanks, all ya all, for your opinions. Tim Report this Post to the Staff
