Value of this coin

I can buy this coin for $115. Do you believe it's a good value?

Yes if not Doctored !!! Standing liberty quarter type 1 +2 are one of the best engraved silver coins America minted.

 

From what I can find the price is ball park for the grade (XF) which is what I would grade this one.

 

To me it's priced about right. I like the looks of it. Some folks don't care for dark toning and would not care to pay that much.

 

Actually it's this look that I enjoy most.The reverse is boring though.

 

Very nice. I don't typically like dark tones, but it looks good on this one. Nice find, reasonable price.

 

What are your thoughts on this one?

 

I'm the same. With some coins, it just adds a cool look that I enjoy. This one is really well struck.

 

In general or in comparison to the first? Or both?

 

Just in general
I bought it as an XF

 

I like the second coin as well. Nice look. Not as well struck as the first but still a nice coin.

 

+1

 

"Value" is a subjective sales/purchase variable, best determined by the parties to an "exchange".

However, I personally would value that coin to be worthy of my $115 U.S. Fiat exchange, once authenticity is reasonably determined by weight and magnetism.

I have a complete set of Chinese origin, replica Standing Liberty coins.

What do mean by this?
A possible comparative coin

 

I believe the statement is self-explanatory to collectors, as I, of all grades TPG "slabbed" Standing Liberty "Quarters".

If further explanation is required, I suggest a reading of copyright 1977 A.N.A. technical "drawn" Standards, page 200 and 201.

I personally believe the coin you purchased, met or exceeded, current grading standards for at least an AU50 1917 Standing Liberty coin.

JMHO

 

Thank you for that information.

 

Here are photos I have taken of the 2nd coin I purchased and just received.

 

Really nice Mr. Gooch..........
