Keeping it honest..... I have done pretty well with various other coins since I started a post abut making money on Pre-1933 gold, but I really got hammered on this one. The e-bay pictures were very forgiving. You should be able to save and zoom in on these to see that this coin was not as advertised. I paid 371 total for the coin. I think I can get a decent trade value for it, but I will definitely lose money on this one. What do you think the grade is?? I would say AU 55 details, cleaned, and scratched (reverse next to the E Pluribus Unum)..... Attached Thumbnails
I am going to see what I can do, but after shipping I may as well just take the $20-$30 loss. If I trade it I can probably come close to my $370. Sometimes you lose. I have contacted the seller, but haven't heard anything back yet.
I'm not sure about "gading" this, since it's been a long time since I've "gaded" anything but as to grade, I'd give it a AU-50. It's too scratched up for me to go higher but I suck at grading about as much as I do at "gading" so it may go higher but it also may go lower. :goofer: Ribbit
Poor spilling is common but remember, tis otay to winkle when you meant to tinkle but never tinkle when you meant to winkle! Ribbit Ps: That's known as Toaditis.
AU-50 is my most generous offer, but thats worth about 340 or so with a return he'd probably be out the money to send it back and insure and all that
