I'd say real, AU, cleaned and they are called seated liberty and it looks like it has a die crack from about 10 o clock to 1 I'm not sure on that though leave that to the experts I'm still kinda new to this myself

 

IMO it looks to be, UNC. It has been cleaned a long time ago, when it was the customary thing to do. A beautiful coin !!

 

Hey I like learning more on detecting cleaned coins. Can one of yall point out why yall think it is cleaned?

 

No luster to the coin

 

Tall date (108) and definitely circulated.

 

I think the highest grade you get is MS60 but that's just an opinion

 

There are several versions of this coin the most valuable is the 6 over 7

 

The melt value is about $6.79 otherwise I guess its worth whatever a collector is willing to pay they jump all over the place on ebay

 

Thank you all for your help. I kind of figured AU55 maybe 58.

As for the cracked die, I see that it looks like there is also one at 5 O clock and again at 7. do these cracks in the die detract from the value?

Had to google what the 108 was and I see that it is the spiked 4 variety. I did not even notice the spike. Thanks

 

Hard to tell from the pictures. But I think it's lower than AU-58.

 

Sometimes a cracked die makes them worth more to a collector

 

I wouldn't listen to much to me though I'm still kinda new to this stuff but have learned a lot from these guys on here they will def. Help you out I have come a long way from when I first joined on here

 

I looked on PSGS photograde and it looks to be Xf-45 or at most Au-50

 

Very nice coin but not unc.

 

I would value it anywhere from 140-160 u.s dollars

 

AU-U cleaned, beautiful coin though! :thumb:

 

only after a graders' liquid lunch

 

AU cleaned.

 

I said AU cleaned in the beginning I was just saying maybe 60 at the highest I didn't say it was
