<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buckeye73, post: 3563172, member: 93155&quot;]I am in general agreement with Eduard on the grading of the coins, with the exception that the 1955 G grades no higher than VF in my opinion. That being said, I am generally considered a conservative grader among my peers.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the value, Frank S. Robinson (a dealer) has both coins listed in his World Coin List 130:&nbsp; A 1954 G in VF for $4.95 (Krause lists as $25).</p><p>A 1955 G PCGS AU 50 for which Frank grades XF (with some luster) is listed for $88.00. Another raw VF $5.95.</p><p>There is a huge bump in price between VF and EF grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>I referred to Frank because I have bought a huge number of US, world and ancient coins from him over the past 15 or so years, and find his grading essentially in line with mine. His pricing is extremely competitive, which might account for some disparity between Eduard’s and my estimates of value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find a very large number of German&nbsp; and other European coins in the LCS junk boxes, many of which are in XF or better condition, including the above dates. Apparently, many were brought back by tourists and military (Fort Knox is near), thereby reducing circulation of those coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
