Got a semi good coin cheap.

I bought 11 silver coins for 20 dollars to help a co worker out .Was surprised to find this semi key coin in the group. The rest of the coins were mercury dimes and a G4 1871 seated liberty dime.

I think you owe hime some more money.

 

I did give him more. I had bought them sight unseen, I just threw them into my pocket thinking they were junk silver worth melt. So the 20 dollars was more than I thought they were worth, but he needed some cash. Now I have to figure out how to get it graded (I have never sent a coin in for grading)

 

I haven't sent anything in either, but I've seen it mentioned it's more cost effective to send multiple coins in due to shipping.

 

Here here. My local dealer wouldn't though. Dude's a scumbag.

 

Nice coin. Perhaps acetone can safely remove some of the organic black crud.
Doesn't appear damaged or cleaned. Maybe the acetone will bump it from a VG-08 to an F-12. Kicking in a few more dollars was the right thing to do.

 

Mind me asking how much more? Nice find by the way.

 

I gave him another 40. Still low but he was going to turn them in for melt.

 

I agree, but the poor sod should have done his homework.....

 

I hate that term. It doesn't belong in these forums. Conjures unlikely occurrence. Dirt bag would be a better observation.......

 

It should make F-12, it has a full LIBERTY and the rest of the details look good enough.

 

Well, you tried.

 

Filthy dirtbag then.

 

Nice coin! At auction, certified, that's probably worth between $100-200. Hope you were real generous in your "kickback."

 

If it makes F-12 I think it is more than that. I could be wrong, I don't follow prices much but the guides I have show a F-12 around $350 retail. If it tops out as an 8 your probably right, but I think it has a decent shot at 12.
