<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 18802, member: 487"]If the coin has been circulated the current greysheet bid runs from $11 in GOOD to $90 in ABOUT UNCIRCULATED. Now for most collectors, it is very difficult to judge an AU coin. Sometimes the wear marks are not easy to see or recognize. Depending on how the tarnish looks, that can also effect the value. Value relies heavily on eye appeal. Cleaning is also not the easiest thing to spot. Especially if the coin was cleaned 100 years ago. You have to know what to look for. Small lines are left behind when a coin is rubbed. If you have a good light source, hold the coin and slowly rotate the coin in the light. Any circulation or cleaning marks will break the light. Sometimes it isn't always easy to distinguish the lines, but will at least show that the coin isn't uncirculated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
