<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1874LibertyHead, post: 2450748, member: 79758&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, great advice.&nbsp; Thank you.&nbsp; It is true that I do not know much about the coin.&nbsp; So I can&#039;t say for sure that it has never been cleaned.&nbsp; It was given to me by my grandmother 25 years ago and then stuffed in storage and forgotten.&nbsp; I only came across it a few months ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have a question about the grade though.&nbsp; I went onto the PCGS website and looked at some of the 1874s for sale and as far as surface inclusions go and the amount of wear, my coin seemed to be equal to those at a high AU or low MS grade.&nbsp; The only thing that differed was how shiny the coin was.&nbsp; So what makes those coins MS grade and mine a high EF or low AU grade?</p><p><br /></p><p>I must admit, if I thought I could get thousands for the coin then I might consider selling it but if it is only worth ~$700 or so, I think I may just keep it.&nbsp; I value the historical aspect more then a few hundred dollars!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for all the helpful expertise.</p><p>1874</p><p><br /></p><p>---[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
