Found this in a pile of junk silver. Doesn't look like junk to me. I think it's XF at least, but I'm not sure if it was just well cared for or if it was gently cleaned. I don't see any polish lines or scratches. Your opinions would be appreciated. What's it worth??? Thanks
I have the same opinion of the grade. My Googling isn't giving me a good answer to what it's worth (can't check eBay right now). Great find in the junk silver!
This is a rather common issue and has problems, so while a nice find as junk, its "value" is no where near that of a nice graded or gradable example. Common problem seated material are dime a dozen, but still sell. My feelings as to what it is worth do not necessarily coincide with what the average buyer might pay, so you may want to search completed ebay listings. This should at least give an idea/range of what similar coins bring.
After a little more research it could be worth even more imo. Here's an 1857 XF details improperly cleaned that went for $65 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pedigree-18...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
EF 40, but lightly cleaned. Nice junk bin find. Once THOUGHT I found a 1934 d ddo large mm. Then I found out it wasn't and wanted to return it. Unfortunately i lost the receipt.
