[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 3583135, member: 91609"]Well, I've seen several of the coins & questions you posted (the clipped dime is nice), so I'm going to respond to all of them on this thread. When you ask about grading, which, although there are very specific guidelines, is still a very subjective matter, it is difficult doing by pics alone - the most accurate way is "in hand". This is why many of us here do not give assessments over the web. If you have seen any of the "guess the grade" (GTG) threads on this site, you will see that there can be quite a wide difference in opinions, even to the extent of XF to AU to MS for [B][I][U]the same coin[/U][/I][/B]! And then you're asking what they will go for at auction. None of us have a "crystal ball" to see the future, but we do have a rear view mirror. That means there are auction [B][I][U]results[/U][/I][/B] you can find at such places as eBay, Heritage, & other coin auction houses, which will give you an idea of what [B][I][U]recent sales[/U][/I][/B] went for & judge by that.
