taipan Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm looking at picking this coin up at auction tomorrow, and know the rough price guidelines, but am not familiar on where I should rate this coin in this condition between circulated and uncirculated. Am I right at looking at a purchase price at around US$50? There seems to be a big difference in worth from one end of the scale to the other. Edit: I just noticed the top of right wing of eagle near end of wreath looks like some sort of error, is this a known variant? Edit 2: I know I'm talking to myself at this stage, but Die Polishing? Would this increase the value of the coin in this case for any reason? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taipan Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks, price ended up being a bit steep for me, and you're right in that there's no certainty that it is real from these local auctions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I can't comment on the first question, but on the second question - the lines on this piece are from cleaning, though it seems light enough that it's not too bad. I would generally avoid any piece where you are unable to fully examine it (in this case, the edge), especially for more expensive pieces.
