I got this one a few days ago and finally got some have way good pic. Please help with grade and worth and thanks. how much will the scratch on the rev. hold it back??
I'll venture a guess.... I'm thinking low end Mint-state, maybe a 62, but could be a nice 58. The toning will bump it's value a bit, I'd guess right around $8-10 for it. But that scratch will hurt it a bit..... Like I said this is my guess. I really like it, and would be proud to own it!!
Splotchy coloring will hold it back more than anything. I would doubt NGC or PCGS would grade it, but I would give it a 65. From all I can see that is virtually mark free.
Thanks for the comments. I gave $6 for it and I like it. I kind of like the toning but not sure if it AT or natural. It is very hard to get a good pic of it.
Can you post a straight on close up of the date? Can't really tell if it's a small date from the pics you posted.
That scratch on the reverse really hurts the coin IMO. I wouldn't buy it, course that's just me though.
It's definately a small date, but the newest pictures confirm chemical surface damage. Somebody attempted to clean the coin. The good news is that these are cheap. I see them at shows and dealers all the time in the $5-7 range for nice, red MS examples.
Yeah I was worried about that, but like you said it want cost me much to replace it with an undamaged one. I have some more LMC that I would like to show you all. They are proofs and they came from the same guy. I will post another thread later today, thanks to everyone.
