TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 06/03/2011 6:28 pm Just picked up this damaged 1917 Standing Liberty from the shop for $10.00. It is terrible what has been done to her (but I bet she made a great peice of jewlery). Even though she is damaged I could not resist purchasing her. I like the details and the date for the price. What do you think the grade is? I have read that damaged or cleaned coins drop down a grade so I am guessing F - VF. I am still very new at this and realize I could be way off base. I am OK with that. I look forward to all of your feedback! Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21792 Posts	Posted 06/03/2011 10:45 pm For 10 bucks, and with that amount of (tolerable) damage, I would be perfectly happy with it, and I am normally very dissapointed with damaged coins, and generally pass them on after a while, realising that I have made a mistake. Not in this case, however! Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6445 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 02:31 am I wouldn't want it in my collection since the solder damage would REALLY bother me. However, the price was right and you probably can realize a quick profit on ebay which is where I would put it. Report this Post to the Staff
