Looking at a 16-s walker

If you applied the same "formula" to this 16-S it would be 500.00 x .57 = 285.00

It may only be a VF30 but there's quite a lot of dirt on it,may need an acetone/distilled water bath to see if it has any potential for a higher grade?

 

ok, nice idea I do not think it applies: the 16s is a much rarer coin than the 36s and it is in hot demand. I cannot believe anyone would sell this coin for $285

 

Out of Great Collections, Ebay and Heritage not a single one has a VF that has sold below 300 not even VF 20s much less VF 30s. Even the majority of the VF Details coins sell for over 300. The last time a straight graded VF sold below 300 on Heritage was in 2005. A VF 25 sold on Great Collections this month for a touch over 400. Heritage has sold two VF details coins this year one went for 260 the other for 320.

285 isn't happening for a VF 1916-S unless you're paying in British Pounds.

 

Numismedia Wholesale is $360 and $560 in VF20 and XF40, if that will help. Look on eBay and see what previous coins in the grades have brought and/or do a search in Heritage auction archives.

 

Dime, agreed on the rarity...I'm not saying you could get it for 285.00, I was just saying how I arrived at certain bids for Walkers. If you did 500.00 x .65% = 325.00

 

That being said, I don't think the coin is worth "full freight" at 500.00

 

It's the old supply and demand . Anyone who wants a complete Type set would want an obverse MM Walker , though I'd like a '16-S I'll probably end up with a '17-S as 1917 is my Dad's birth year . Good luck on your search !

 

Excellent feedback, thanks so much!

 

No need for a bath nor a chance to update as it is not worth it.

 

How about an actual link for those of us who just can't seem to buy into this one?

 

Here's a lower grade raw that just sold for 97.00

Wow. I'd consider that a melter

 

Not a melter with that date/mm.

 

Cleaned and low grade...guess I just wouldn't consider putting it in my collection

 

1916 S, I only have a VG and a F.

 

You won't get one, a link for that doesn't exist

 

Mine is only a good. Had to pay $3.00 for it.

 

Please trust me when I tell you I'm certainly not expecting one... but hey, it's easier to double-down on BS than it is to admit a mistake or a jump to judgement.

 

A Google reverse image search found the coin in question.
