I personally would find a problem free AU example for not much more money than this dealer is asking.

This one sold on HA for $168 recently: https://coins.ha.com/itm/commemorat...29551.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#

I think cleaned and well worn. F15 I’d say. $150 is no bargain I’d buy a problem free one for that.

 

F-15 Details, cleaned.

 

also, the 1976 Bicentennial

 

Where?

 

This is a coin that will be tough to sell later - unless you carry it around in your pocket and can get it to Poor-1. I would offer $100, and that may be too much.

 

Is this a coin you want, or just want it because it looks like a good deal?

 

It's a problem coin and has been cleaned. A PCGS XF40 fetched $176 at Heritage in July 2017 and this coin looks lower to me. I would pass at all costs. If you must buy it $100 seems about right to me. The spread between this grade and higher grades isn't huge as it is and given its issues, most collectors will pass when it comes to sell.

 

If that's accurate then my $100 estimate was wrong. VG money (deducting for issues) seems about right.

 

At $150, one might not come around soon. But if you're willing to give it some time, then one of the auction venues (like GC, Heritage, or eBay) will probably have a problem free AU example around $200.

 

If this dealer paid $10 for it when it walked in the door I would be very surprised.
