vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 08/15/2011 11:36 pm It looks to be in the XF range. Melt is a little over $14. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
numismaniac Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 08/15/2011 11:45 pm Nice Coin. I agree with XF range. Better grade and worth a bit over melt in my opinion. Of course if you ever want to sell in the next few years you will only get silver value for it. You did ok though. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 1:55 pm As noted it's OK for that price. However, did you have to pay shipping and handling? If so that raises the purchasing price to over what you could have paid at a coin show. For about $17 that is normal so you did OK. Report this Post to the Staff
LTMets44 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 2:08 pm The S&H was $.99, So the total was $17.99. So, I guess I over paid a little bit. I noticed that the coins sell for more money on ebay than at my local coin dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 09:14 am I usually hold out for melt on common Walkers and Franklin's. Decent grade so you certainly didn't get taken to the cleaners. Report this Post to the Staff

I noticed that the coins sell for more money on ebay than at my local coin dealer. AND if you frequent that same coin store you may find you could even get better and cheaper coins. As they get to know you if a normal dealer, they tend to want to keep you as a customer so you could get better and better deals. And too remember at that store you get to see the actual coin you want and not a possible faked out photo. Report this Post to the Staff
LTMets44 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 08/18/2011 01:50 am Well until I become more experienced, I will continue to go to the local coin dealer.
