Good deal?

Thought about bidding on this. Since I'm not a Liberty Seated expert, I was wondering what you guys/gals thought.

I would stay with one of the more reputable Auction House's to purchase coins . Thats my 2 Cents .

 

The surface sof the coin look messed up - possibly environmentally damaged and/or cleaned. Did you like the looks of it or are you just looking for a bargain? If the latter, I'd avoid it.

 

Coin was buried. Has some slight corrosion, but even at that, wouldn't it be a bargain?
XF to AU runs $150-200.

 

The coin's surfaces would limit its appeal in most collector's eyes.

There's a (good, IMO) reason that coin is that cheap.

Not a bargain, in my eyes.

 

It says in the title "details" so xf to au details wont run 150 to 200

 

To give a little perspective to that, the last XF's sold for between $60 and $90 on Heritage - all certified. As a ground found coin, this might net out as fine. You will have to do the math because Heritage has sold none in fine, but their VF's go <$40.

 

Wait, we are all not telling the OP what they want to hear ! I can never figure this stuff out.

 

has really sharp xf details but sadly it is indeed DETAILS which means the surfaces are jacked. sad really...

 

punt.

There is definitely something wrong with that piece.

 

Thanks gents--think I'll pass.
