[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 5194437, member: 105571"]I have a friend who is a collector of everything, two barns full of stuff that he has amassed over 60 years. Knowing my interest in coins he usually brings me some raw stuff to our weekend breakfasts at the diner and I evaluate them, grade them, photograph them, figure die marriage/die state where applicable, and try to give him a value. Fun for me and helps sharpen my skills. This 1843 dollar is the latest (I have two others from him I will post in separate threads). I give it a grade of VF-30-Details/Damaged. How do you assess the technical grade? I see nothing to indicate it is anything but genuine and he tells me his family has owned it since the 1920s. In valuing the coin, Greysheet says about $400 for a slabbed coin straight-graded. This one is raw and damaged but not too horribly so I'm saying it's worth about $160. What do you think?[/QUOTE]
