I have this 1893 peace dollar its in kinda ok shap , its a CC mint could any body please tell me with what P ics I have the about price it might have on it. Its got a couple deep looking sc ratches on the reverse don't know if they are PMD or die cracks, any input would nice brutal or good ,thanks
1893CC starts in Good at around $200.00. But you are going to have to do some pics without the capsule as it hiding too much. I do see a lot of bad scratches going on which is not going to help this any.
yea I know I need a camra but don't know what kind to buy , is that even if I have it certified or just raw ?
With the damage I can see through the capsule it would probably be a losing $ proposition to have it certified. If you were to send it in for certification they might grade/might not but it would certainly come back with a "Details/Damage" on the label. At this point I cannot give a correct grade until we see the coin outside of the capsule. I used Good as a benchmark to start with. It might not grade that well or maybe better. It should probably be left raw. You can use a flat bed scanner also to take pics. Just enlarge the photo. They should come out fine because of the lack of luster.
lol I wouldn't either but thanks for the info I will take another snap of it with out the cap around it .
The heavy scratches on both sides really detract from the value. Without those scratches value would have been double. Either way, it's a great piece of history! I always say that behind every scratch is a story... It's up to you to decide how important that story is!
