1840 O Seated Liberty Dime

Was hoping you guys could give me some facts about this dime. Such as value, grade, and any other info you might have

If it is real and has not been cleaned and is around F-12 or F-15
as much as $40 retail.
Selling a coin like that to a coin shop you are more likely to get in the $20- $25 range. (Just a guess.) Because it is not always so easy to sell your coins to someone for top dollar, and coin shops usually will buy what you have.
And they have to make a profit when they resell it.

 

I can even tell from my phone that isn't an F. Thats at least a 35 and much more likely XF even if it may be a details coin. Fs have flat heads and reverses.

 

I agree with baseball21. From the pictures it seems to be a fairly high grade example, around XF40-XF45 in my opinion. Better pictures are needed for a more accurate assessment.
As far as price, I would value at at least $200, possibly more.

 

Ok and if I get it graded and sell it on ebay? That's why I'm asking lol. Just trying to see if y'all think it's authentic before sending it to get graded. I'm pretty sure the value on it is much higher if authentic.

 

Definitely liking your opinion on value

 

Just make sure that you have enough coins to send in that you don't eat up all the profit in the cost of sending a single coin

 

I didn't go VF cause it looks smooth to me. But the pics are not great.
And if it is details that kills the value.

 

I will buy every single "F" you have with details like that. Its borderline XF minimum

Rick, this seems to be then a scarce (rare?) variety at R5 or R5+.
I am guessing this would command a premium?

 

O-ya, that's for sure ...

 

Here's an xf-40, that sold for 600 bucks

It would be cool to see some images of the coin out of the 2x2. Nice coin.

 

Lets use know if your coin has the die crack, on the reverse ..

 

This picture is from seller, I will be sure and post more pictures once it comes in!

 

And how much would you pay for this particular coin?

 

I'm not gonna give any more free advice for you cherry picking.
