I found a 1892-Micro O !!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I think I found a 1892 Micro O!!!!!! It is not in the greatest of conditions, but still!!! I mean come on!!!! It is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just instinctively put it up on eBay I hope that wasn't a dumb move on my part, I just need the money right now for school.

Let me know what you think!!!

Not sure if I can list the eBay link or not, but it should be easy to find.

Where did ya find it?

 

I think you will need to get that certified as a micro-O by either PCGS or NGC in order to realize good money for the piece. As is now, I am not sold that this is a micro-O.

 

If it is, it could fetch a TON more than 99 dollars, more like 2000 dollars

 

Wouldn't the mint mark be lower than that?

 

Ummm no, without being able to see the mint mark properally and the condition it is in (which is probaly ag or below) and not being certified, I highly doubt that

 

I meant graded.

 

FR-02 if you're lucky

 

I don't see an O I would need full photos of the coin to tell for sure though.

 

So should I spend the money to try to get it graded? I was worried it would come back as ungradable. I don't want to waste my time and money.

Is there a way to make the details stand out more, or will I just ruin the coin in the process?

 

Don't do anything to it unless you want a details grade!!!! If you can fork out the cost to submit it to be graded plus the shipping and the risk it may come back as a regular 1892 o then I'd say go for it

 

I think I'm going to sleep on it. I don't really have the money to get it graded, but I would love for it to go for a lot more if it is real!

 

Sorry, but I don't see it.

 

I see a lot of patterns that resemble "o" on that coin in the condition it's in and the pictures provided. I hate bursting your bubble but I'd have to say it's not a micro O, at least what's been displayed.

 

It kind of looks like a micro o, I;m not sure though. What type of coin is that?

 

It's Barber half. Here's a FR-02 on eBay right now for 2K+, but it has a CAC sticker:

I am definitely no expert but I think that is a pretty long shot at even being a mint mark. If you compare it to the certified one on Ebay, the mint mark should be lower then what you are pointing at on your coin. I agree that what you are pointing at looks like a small "o", but I bet if you put it under a microscope it is nothing~

 

Compared to the Fr-2 on ebay I think the "mintmark" is too high and a little too far left.

 

Put some acid on it...may make it stand out better.
