My dad's collection didn't have a ton of these but here is what I found: 1900: I put it at a VG08; NUM - $1.80; USACB - $3.38; PCGS - $2 1903 #1: My guess is F12; NUM - $2.20; USACB - $5.84; PCGS - $4 1903 #2: My estimate is G06; NUM - $1.60; USACB - $2.33; PCGS - $2 1905 that is the one in the best condition: I put it at XF40; NUM - $4.20; USACB - $11; PCGS - $13 and a 1907: I put this at VF20; NUM - $2.70; USACB - $6.80; PCGS - $8 Do these grades / values look right to you?
Also found this 1902 that got all pitted. Not sure how that happened. It also has a lot of gunk on it: Is this one still worth anything? I was guessing it may be a G04; NUM - $1.80; USACB - $2.33; PCGS - $2 Also this one is looks ungradable but throwing it in here anyway: Any way to tell what year this one was?
I'd say that you're spot on with the grades anyways. As far as values, you did the research, you should know.
Go to your Red Book and research the grading specs they have there. IIRC, no letters of LIBERTY visible is G4, partial letters visible is VG8. The ‘05 is AU50-53 (IMO), the one with no date is P01…Spark
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Except I really don't know. Can dateless coins be graded?
Glad you’re enjoying your dad’s coins. All of these are common dates and can be picked up for under $1.00 each just about anywhere.
Some collectors spend thousands on the best possible coin they can trying to build a very nice set. Other collectors try and build a set of graded PO01 coins. Why? I just don’t know but they do it. I’ve seen it several times.
Po01 is like a pr 70 in reverse hard to get I have sent several in trying for a grade of po01 but some came back in a body bag.
