hey everybody, I just happened to obtain a 1923 s standing Liberty in very poor condition yesterday, and a 1955 d Lincoln penny that is in fair to good condition, and also, I believe a DDO. But, my question is on the liberty coin, the coin is in terrible condition and I can only make out the s and the 1923 with a magnifying glass, is that coin still worth the $302 that the coin trackers website says it is? The website did say $302 in poor condition, but, it's in super poor condition, here is a pic, sorry about the quality of the pic, but, I assure you, it is a 1923 s standing Liberty,
I can't tell if that is a 1923-S. IF it is... then it's worth less than $100. Here's one better than yours that sold on eBay for about $120. Item number: 172281353950
Alrighty, thank you, it is a 1923 s. If you could actually look at the coin, you could tell, the s is the easiest thing to make out, but, you can still just barely see the date. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Nice find! When they say poor condition though, they're probably referring to G4, I'd say if that's a 23s it would max out at AG3. CBDs dollar figure is probably what youd be looking at
Oh cool, good info on that, thank you. I finally just looked up the grading scale yesterday after 2-3 months doing this, lol, so I could figure out WTH everyone was talking about with the letters then numbers. Helps a lot.
I have a 1927-S in about the same condition. The S is very hard to see without a loupe. I figure mine is worth about $22 as is. So your 23-S could be worth about $70 or so.
I can't read the date in your picture. I'll trust you if you swear you can make it out in hand, but I don't see it. Without a readable date, this is essentially an ungradeable cull. The SLQ is notorious for having a poorly designed date - the date wears off long before the rest of the coin's details. There are thousands and thousands of ungradeable SLQs with unreadable dates - they trade for a few bucks because they are cool, but they are similar to Buffalo nickes with unreadable dates. They are given away to kids to get them interested in coins, or used in jewelry.
