    Well i wanted to know if any of you can help me with the value on this coin and also what grade it is in. The coin has full liberty and has a little ding at the top which might be visible in the pics below. Hope the pics are not to small, but that was the largest i could make them since the coin is really small.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    it looks vf35 from the pics (although that is a guess since the photos are so bad). If my grade is accurate and the rim ding isn't too bothersome, then it is worth about $120-$140.

    Rawperro -

    Take a close look at the star under Liberty's throat - then look at all the stars. Sorry, but I do not think you have a genuine coin there :(

    You have the coin in hand so you can see it best. But if you look at your pic with a magnifying glass you'll see what I mean. A blow-up looks the same way.

    Do you see what I mean about the star under Liberty's throat ? Let alone the others.

    Yeah i see what you mean!!

    The star looks different in the scan, but in the coin it looks like every other star. Thanks for letting me know, though!

    Just to be on the safe side I would recommend you take that coin to a dealer or knowledgeable collector you trust and let them look at it.
