Numismedia FMV for a F12 is $2,440

PCGS Price Guide for a F15 is $3,500 but shows that one sold in 2000 for $1,495

 

Welcome to CT. Nice coin!!!

PCGS Price GuideSM Value: $3,500

Use that for what it's worth. Expect to get less from a dealer, as they need to make money, as well.

 

2000 was quite a long time ago. The coin market, and for that matter the gold market, has seen some movement in the interim. Did you notice that a VG8 went for $2600 in April?

A 1871-CC $10 Gold Liberty VG10 PCGS went for $3400 on eBay in November.

This is NOT a coin to sell at an antique store or pawn shop. I'm not sure it's rich enough to interest one of the major auction houses by itself, but if you want to sell it to a dealer, you'll want to get several offers. I'm not sure what a reasonable offer would be -- $2000 would be too low, but $3000 is probably too much to expect. Anybody else want to chime in?

 

Like anything. It's worth what 2 people agree to.
$2 sounds about right to me though.

 

Wow! This is a very scarce coin that is not seen every day. PCGS estimates that about 113 exist.

I would say around $3000 for this coin, maybe a little more.

 

With a mintage of just over 8000 pieces this is a rare coin.
I am seeing $3450 in VF 20, as an F-12 perhaps $2500?
I would keep it if I could as this coin will only become more valuable in the future.
Gold being down might depress the price a little.

 

Oh I'd keep it if I could too.

 

Be sure to take some time and get 2 or 3 opinions...and as @ToughCOINS said, hang on to it if you can. And it's in an older PCGS slab.

Welcome to CT.

 

It's worth expanding on this, given that the original poster is a newcomer.

PCGS is a company that grades coins and puts them in plastic slabs. They're widely respected, and coins that they slab generally get better prices than unslabbed coins, because the buyer has added confidence that the coin is graded accurately and doesn't have problems.

Many collectors believe that PCGS had more stringent grading standards in the past. So coins in older PCGS slabs, like yours, sometimes trade at an even higher price -- people think a coin graded F15 a number of years ago may be as good as a coin graded higher today.

 

Good job @-jeffB , I could not have explained it that well.

 

I think that's a PCGS 4 generation...correct? Does anyone else disagree with the F-15 grade?

 

Thank you for everyone replies.

And is this possible to re-grade with PCGS and make another slab with higher grade? As I understand from replies, when this slab was did it was another standards for coins.

I think what you are saying is, will it "cross over"?, which is another nerdy numismatic term that refers to having a coin "re-graded" by another independent grader (TPG's are Third Party Graders that grade and encapsulate coins).
Your coin is graded by one of the most well recognized in the business. I don't have enough expertise to tell you to send it in to be regraded.

Many collectors prize the old green holder. You should probably ask someone to send it in to CAC for you, as they will give stickers to accurately graded coins that may raise the price of a coin.

 

No, I mean Regarded PCGS graded coin.I found on PCGS site that they can do it if I think that I have coin with higher grade.


REGRADE: For a coin previously graded by PCGS you feel might be worthy of a higher grade, submit it in the holder. The coin will be removed from the PCGS holder and regraded. Minimum grades are not accepted. If the coin grades lower, the terms of the PCGS guarantee will apply. For full discloser of the PCGS guarantee, visit www.PCGS.com/Guarantee.

It's hard to tell without looking at the coin in person, and even then, it's hard to be sure. (Impossible for me to be sure; I don't have the grading expertise.)

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't try it. @Omegaraptor makes a good point about having someone submit it to CAC, but I'm not sure I'd even go that far. On the other hand, submitting to CAC isn't necessarily too expensive, and can provide a nice bump on the value if they like it.

Oh, and you probably already know this, but don't try to take it out of the slab yourself.

 

A fabulous keeper...will be worth many times more $ in future if you have the time to wait!
