<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 758222, member: 15488"]I am confused! Using Numismedia as a pricing guide, They list the FMV of F12 at $67, VF20 at $76, and XF40 at $92. How am I to find a coin in a VF grade and expect to pay only $45? If I grade the coin at VF, which I think it is, how can I only offer $45 and expect to buy it? I agree it looks to have evidense of vergidis, which would lower the value some, but down to the value of a G8?! I am just a common collector, not an expierenced dealer. If we all agree on Vf and I pay, say $80, I have overspent by $4, but I have a nice coin with a small problem. I think it would be better to just tell the dealer that I would like to keep looking for a better example than to insult him/her with an very low offer. Heritage nor Teletrade has nothing in my price range. Hard to get to the shows in my area, always on Sat. and Sun., days I have to work. All of your comments are very imformative, which is what I was asking for. Guess I'll look some more, no rush anyway. Thought I had a good coin, guess I don't.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
