[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 26163068, member: 90692"]I crunched some numbers and came up with a fair value…I think. Using the PCGS listed values for the 1944-D 1C DDO FS-101, I calculated the decreasing percentage per full one point grade. From MS66 to MS65 the value drops by half, then by 52% to MS64. The change is 72% drop to MS63 where the listings stop. Continuing the 72% drop rate (there’s nothing else to use) down to F12 we arrive at $7.48. At this point we have accounted for grade. If we do as [USER=115232]@SensibleSal66[/USER] suggested and reduce this value by half we get $3.74 and account for previously cleaned. This is all very rough estimation but I personally would not buy this coin even at this price as it is in very rough condition. Sal…you were on a good roll thinking about “half the value” but I think you see now that that was only for cleaning without accounting for color type or condition. I’m wide open for anyone else with a better way to figure it out and maybe come up with a better analysis…Spark1951[/QUOTE]
