Everything I see says it is real. What is it worth?

RLM, I have a 1921D Walking Half that had been scratched. Ive been trying to get rid of it for a few years now. I list it on ebay every so often as buy it now or make an offer. And I havent even had any offers, ever. So thats a tough call. I know I didnt think I would have such a hard time getting rid of my 1921D, after all it is in nice shape, and Im not really looking for that high of an offer, but I still have it and I think I always will.
Besides, doesnt this S VDB look like a very fine with an old cleaning???

 

A whole heck of a lot less than it would be without the vandalism!

 

Without the "vandalism", I would not be asking. i would own it.

 

I myself would pass at it

 

to tell you the truth, i personally think it is worth somewhere around 500 dollars. Besides the vandalism, it isnt that bad of an example of an 09 S VDB. If you can find the right person who just wants to fill that hole in their book, this coin might be the perfect coin for them.

I dont think its worth that....
maybe a little less.
Its good for a cheaper nice hole filler... but yeah.
its too bad its scratched

 

$400

 

Whoever did this should be made to look at the difference in value between the scratched and unscratched versions. I hope they had fun doing it.

 

IMHO scratched coins are not worthy to be put in a collection

 

I'd pass, no demand really for damaged coins. IMHO.

Some scratches are worse than others, and unfortunately, those are quite distracting. I don't mind coins with handling marks or scratches, but intentional markings really detract from the desirability, in my opinion. If I was considering buying it, it would have to go for a fraction of book since I know that every time I show someone the coin we would be talking about the damage and not the rare coin.
How do you feel about the marks? Mike

 

ya think? I can't guess by pics anymore....learned not to , lol

 

I agree. The coin should be melted.

 

I think I asked the wrong question - so, of course, I got the wrong answer. What would your answer have been if I had asked which of the 3 coins (2 here and the original post) would you prefer? Now that it is too late, I know what my answer would be. Tell me what yours is.

 

You are never going to be collecting anything rare then...

 

Second one ! Much much nicer grade !

 

I'd go with the VG-8, seems like a nice problem free example. Or maybe the corroded one, for my VF/XF set till I got one that isn't corroded. Not sure. But I don't think I would pay much for the scratched one, too detracting IMHO.

I would prefer 1 original VG-8 over 2 problems.....
