What grade is that a quote for? I've seen XF's that would have a hard time meeting that standard. On all of the other seated liberty designs I would agree that you have to have a full LIBERTY to make Fine, but not on a twenty cent piece.
While it does look harshly cleaned, it is a 20 cent piece, and with only 1,355,000 made, I for one would love to have it in my collection, as long as the price was right. $102 is not a bad deal and fair value for it.
I've found that a dollar hamburger tastes awesome when you only have a buck in your pocket and a fifty dollar lobster dinner tastes just as good, if you can afford it. So, for those who can afford the lobster dinner, here ya go: http://cgi.ebay.com/1875-S-Twenty-Cent-PCGS-MS63-a-GORGEOUS-toned-20c-pc_W0QQitemZ120272520906QQihZ002QQcategoryZ149932QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Ribbit
Toad: Do you have to go and make my coins look bad? JK And BTW, as I said before, the coin cost more than a dollar, and even more than 50 dollars... Kicks
What I meant by what I said is that you and I are on hamburger budgets so we like our problem coins. :thumb: For those who can afford what I posted, let them buy those and hopefully then, they'll leave the lesser coins to us, which will keep our coins cheaper cause they won't be bidding on them. While I could afford the coin I posted, I wouldn't be able to afford much else, so I will manage with what I have and hope I'll luck into a good piece now-and-then, which I already have and will again. Ribbit Ps: I have a few "luck coins" in my sights for this weekend and hope no one notices them. :kewl:
