Bought this and was wondering what you think it might grade and how much its worth. i was thinking for the grade XF or XF+
Based on my review of graded coins by NGC and PCGS, that coin is XF40 to XF45. The feathers on the chest on the reverse are very worn, but the wing feathers are well-detailed. The hair on the obverse is also very worn, but the denticles seem surprisingly detailed compared to other coins with equal wear elsewhere. Like I said before, though, I am no expert.
I would go around XF45. You could definitely sell it for more than normal, but I wouldn't say much, $35 maybe $45 if someone is looking for that coin?
There is more than one VAM for the O/S, but since we don't have a good close-up, you will have to determine which one is correct by comparing them to the VAMWorld list. There can be a considerable difference in value, but most of them are really not all that rare. http://www.vamworld.com/1882-O+VAMs Chris
Ya not sure what VAM it is yet because i don't have the coin in hand yet. should have it today and i will let you know.
