It's it's in really poor shape though. Any idea of value? (It hasn't come back yet from authentication service, so I can't show a pic). On a scale from 1-10 the condition would be a 1. Thanks!   04-02-2009, 09:18 AM   #2 (permalink) FarmerB Senior Member   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Pennsylvania Posts: 210 If it comes back certified, it is worth lots. Which grader did ya send it off to?? At Heritage a F-12 went for +9,000 and a AU 58 230,000 Ya got a nice find there. WE WANT PICS!!   04-02-2009, 09:46 AM   #3 (permalink) 1234Monsees Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 3 Sweet You're kidding, we thought at most $1K. Maybe you'll change your mind when you see a pic - I honestly don't know how they knew it was a coin. If I found it among the dirt I would have tossed it. I guess as seasoned mateal detectors, they have an eye for it. I can't wait to tell them the news! I'll post a pic when I get it back - thanks !!!   04-02-2009, 02:48 PM   #4 (permalink) FarmerB Senior Member   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Pennsylvania Posts: 210 When you said Quote: we got it authenticated I assumed that an expert had checked it out. Was that not correct??

My husband was the one who sent it in, so i don't know, although I'll ask him. Wherever it was, we were able to see an update on the status yesterday. I don't think the place he used actually sells coins, or even do estimates - they just authenticate. I'll let you know, though.   04-02-2009, 06:50 PM   #6 (permalink) l.cutler Member   Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 72 Yes please keep us informed, that is an amazing find.   04-02-2009, 08:06 PM   #7 (permalink) CappedBustDimes Senior Member     Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 426 Depending on the variety and condition, most dug/corroded willows in poor to good condition trade for $800-$4000. There are really too many variables that go into the value that it is almost impossible to give an accurate estimate without decent photos. __________________ http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2818/...y230078a5a.gif   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
