Some even say you can't buy an improperly cleaned coin too cheap. The melt value of it is worth slightly over $400. So that's your starting point.

Though personally, I wouldn't pay much higher than $600 for it. $700 would be too much. The seller may be greedy, or they may be happy to move it at $600. Anything over 6-700 range, I'd definitely walk. I don't know what die state II designation is supposed to be. It sounds like a seller trying to artificially raise the value of it. </p><p><br /></p><p> It sounds harsh, but if you could buy a problem free AU-55 for $300 more, most people will go that route and avoid this one.
