<p>[QUOTE="petro89, post: 1648300, member: 17048"]That is somewhat odd. The winning bidder paid XF-AU money for a coin I would grade at VF details with those scratches. I know that mintage isn't the end-all determining factor of a coin's worth, but this was the 2nd highest mintage of all early seated dimes until 1853. So even if a lot were lost over the years I don't see it being near the value of some that had 5 or 6-digit mintage figures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like anything else, something is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. In this case there were probably 2 bidders that really really wanted the coin. There does appear to be some die cracks on the reverse which some people are big big fans of. But otherwise, I wouldn't pay more than the neighborhood of your price. But I am not exactly in the market for this specific coin...so others may pay more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
