I won this just a few minutes ago. I know it is a very poor grade, but what would you grade this, and what would the value be around? I paid 8.33, is that a bit too much? Thanks
I'd grade it a 4, maybe a 3.75 on a bad day. 8 bucks for a coin that old seems more than fair. Neat coin! Thanks for sharing...Mike
Looks like a nice JR2. On later stages, just left of the date, there is a cud that develops on the edge/rim due to a broken collar. On some examples, most grades VF+, there is also some roughness in the surface/fields above the date and above the E on Liberty's cap caused by rusty dies. The EUSD book gives this marriage an R2 but, I don't have a more current JRCS census handy to tell you if that rarity is still accurate. Very nice pick up for $8
AG3... and it seems like a good price for this coin. Nice pickup for $8 as long as they didn't stick it to you too much with the shipping.
Thank you all! I did not understand what "CappedBustDimes" said about the coin. Is he saying it is an error?
A piece of history like that for under 10 bucks, can't beat that with a stick. Nice buy. Keep up the good work. Allen
No, not an error. Just the variety based upon the obverse and reverse die marriage used when the coin was struck. The R-2 is the Rarity Rating which equates to about 500-1000 known. Take Care Ben
