<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 118465, member: 1674&quot;]much better pictures the second time.&nbsp; The coin grades &quot;Very Fine&quot; and is worth about $500-$600.&nbsp; You would get about that if you sold it on eBay with good photos and a good description (assuming that you have a positive eBay track record).</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, this coin is NOT rare, in fact there were nearly twice as many 1854&#039;s minted as any other date of $3 gold!&nbsp; The type is uncommon, but as far as the type goes, this piece is as &quot;run-of-the-mill as they get.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get me wrong, $500 is nothing to scoff at, but any other date would have been a significantly better coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I&#039;m gonna guess that it is original (not harshly cleaned).&nbsp; But without the coin in hand to inspect for hairlines, I cannot be certain of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coin!&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; after looking at the pictures again I am concerned that the disruptions on the rim (obv. @ 3:00 and 7:00) are evidence of the coin having been mounted in jewelry at some poimt in its life.&nbsp; If that is the case then my price is overly optimistic.&nbsp; It it is former jewelery then I&#039;d estimate its value at $300-$400.&nbsp; You may get more than that on eBay, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
