Snowing and cold here in Michigan. No Detecting so I went to an estate auction..

..only the 2nd auction I have been to. It was fun. There was a nice collection of coins. An 1877 Indian head, some real nice trade dollars. I picked up this 20cent piece for $95.00. Think I paid to much? It doesn't have that great of eye appeal. Give me your opinions. I think I paid what its worth.

Well, I don't know about over paying for it, you gave what you thought it was worth at least to yourself. I do know however that is one more 20 cent piece than I have in my collection! Congratulations on your purchase.

 

Not really. That's about right for that coin, in that condition.
Congratulation, Jim!

 

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

It's better than the one I have...cause I don't have one ;--)
I think LIBERTY is the first thing to wear on 20 cent pieces isn't?

BTW--what shape was the 1877 IHC in?

I can see the T and Y In the shield on the 20 center. Thats it.

The 1877 was in nice shape but had no liberty at all in the head band. It went for $500.00. I can see where you could pick up some good deals at these auctions. I'll have to go to more when I can't get out and detect. Much funner to get em for free in the dirt.
