So here is another coin I'm looking to purchase but as I'm getting back into collecting I want to make sure my assumptions on grade and value are not too far off. My wife and I had our first child last December so that pretty much took all my time and money saved for collecting - although I'd make that trade any day. Anyways, I'm always grateful for all the advice and comments CT provides so thank you in advance. To me this raw 1860 3 cent silver looks to be AU-50 or maybe higher. There is a rim ding at 4-5 o'clock but that's about all I can see. I offered $90 for this particular example. Am I about on point for a raw example? Any comments on grade?
I appreciate the feedback! Would you contribute that to the more significant wear on the reverse? I think at this point I'll leave my final bid where it is. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
I would also guess in the EF area. Note an additional hit on the III and some wear or a poor strike at the rim in the lower left area on the second photo.
Don't feel like you got left out. Some people will bid to the moon and some just out of spite. Another will come along for you at "your" price.
Oh yeah I'm in no way upset, I started to regret my $90 bid haha. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
This coin finally went for $176. I wonder if he/she is having buyers remorse yet. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
I see it as a low-end AU50, and the sale price would be "AU53/55 in a PCGS slab" territory. The buyer's remorse won't set in until the new owner tries to liquidate.
