<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1516760, member: 19463&quot;]It is an interesting question what the value of any coin might be.&nbsp; Obviously many buyers don&#039;t care about or understand some factors that mean a lot to others.&nbsp; This coin has less than the best style and less than the best centering.&nbsp; What it has is good metal.&nbsp; An EF with light porosity is not hard to find.&nbsp; I suggested the coin be marketed high end because I thought it might qualify as special due to the metal.&nbsp; Obviously not all of us agree on that.&nbsp; Slabbing is the obvious answer if the goal is to sell to a non-collector market and still might be the best answer if you feel the coin&#039;s faults drop it to that level.&nbsp; Being sold by Berk/CNG would negate the need for a slab but the Vagi slab would answer the authenticity question and enable the coin to be sold for $500 to $750 to a market segment who will consider slabbed coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Let us know how it comes back.&nbsp; EF 5/5 ignoring the centering would be a possibility but AU 4/5&nbsp; also strikes me as possible.&nbsp; While I buy no slabbed coins, I look at them and enjoy second guessing them.&nbsp; It is a hobby I can afford.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
