there is 2 obverses photos one looks fake & the other look fine.I would pass this one.
that my 2 cents

he was not asking for two cent opinions. One Cent. LOL. I would keep searching a bit longer goldstone. IN MS 63, Red & Brown, which this item is, runs about $145.00.. Let me check around on the heritage site for you. I'll update you. Ok, My suggestion is, if you can pick this up for under $160.00, I'd say, it's a decent deal. Good luck!

Just a bidding thought for you, if you truly want this coin, enter a max bid of $155.00, that should win the item, if it does not, don't worry there will be others.

It's a nice coin, looks about 63/64.

The two photos are the same and the coin looks nice. I had to look two are three times though cause they are different angles for sure.
If he would guarantee it will grade and be authentic I may buy it but 3 points to remember.

1. These are always available, (it's rarer in circ. grades than mint state, the only Lincoln, or any other coin I can think of that that's true off.)

2. You can find a nice graded coin at some point that suits your needs and you will be glad you waited.

3. With a little looking a graded MS-64 RB or Brown that it very crisp, (most all early 1930's are struck nice) would beat many MS-65's for eye appeal and be a bargain if bought right.

Hope that helps you.

Ben, is it your opinion this coin won't make a 64 ? I think it is closer to 64 RB than 63, that's why I suggested the bid as such. If he can pick it up for say $130.00 or so, with the max bid of $155.00, would that not be a decent deal?

go get em goldstone. Also check out my items: Item# 270432777193

Compare this 1936 to mine. #2003132955933 This one is definitely more Red Brown.

I would consider a higher grade unless you just want the space filled. These aren't too different in price until the higher red grades. And don't shy away from a nice RD, as they should stay red if protected as they have been for close to 80 years.


Jim

well there is roughly a 35-40.00 spread between 63 and 64 125.00-160.00

well, it looks like it is going to go for what I suggested. Anyway, hope your the winning bidder. Sent you a p/m but had not heard back from you.

That was extremely overbid IMHO

That coin, IMHO was not worth 65 money
