About $50, assuming it is problem-free, and you grade the way we do "across the pond".

 

thanks. it has a little wear but everything is still readable. thats why i dont think it would be xf vs. vf.

 

A pic or two would would be great, I'm sure others would like to see it, I know I would.
We could also give you a better idea on value.

 

heres a pic.

 

I don't grade that piece any higher than AG. Sorry but that is a long way from being VF.

Looks vg to me. About $40.

 

im new to the scaling of coins and read in the book i was using if it was 95% readable it was xf so i just assumed the next one down because it does show wear on the front side. sorry to miss lead.

 

G-8, nice coin by the way. I have always wonted one of those.

 

What is the name of the book you have?

photograde says, about good: obverse,about half the lettering will show and reverse, the rim will be worn well into the stars. Good: obverse, the rim may be worn down into a few letters and part of the date, reverse, the rim will be worn down to the tips of the stars.

I would give the obverse AG and the reverse G.
Heritage lists it in the $10 to $20 range.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

thanks for the input and the time you put into it guys. it was a world coin book i borrowed form the libary from an 06' edition.
