What would you grade this standing liberty?

What would you grade this? I see notable wear on Lady Liberty but the date is clear and background is good.

I would net grade it at G-VG. Too dark.

 

Vg-8

 

Starting in 1925 the Mint recessed the date because it was wearing off too quickly.
That's why the date on that coin stands out so well in spite of the overall wear.

 

I'd almost say AG to G4. There's just too much wear on Lady Liberty, only a small portion of the Shield details are there and the Eagle on the reverse has way too much wear with one wing with slight details in the center only. I wouldn't pay over melt value for this coin.

 

Net graded down to g4, IMO.

 

And I just noticed it's gone beyond melt value in price. If you aren't bidding on this coin already, I'd say skip it, go on to the next one.

 

I am the highest bidder, that is why I asked.

 

So what is the overall rating? I am getting AG to G which I thought but others are saying G to VG? I think these coins look better:

 

I won the auction

at $6.50, is it worth it or should I try to cancel?

 

VG at best. That is a very common coin, IMO.

at $6.50 ... let it ride I'll lend you the money (unless it si 20 dollars shipping)

 

Its only $6.50. Bite the bullet. Don't risk a negative.

 

who cares about that.

 

Haha! Just about anybody who is an Ebay seller

 

I always distrusted a seller unless they had a few negatives, FWIW. It means they know well how to game the system otherwise.

I'd say at $6.50 is fine, only about a dollar more than melt, I just wouldn't go any higher than that.
