Cleaned for sure. Snow-11, RPD. What do you think someone would give for this? These are the best images I have.
Here I go, embarrassing myself again: NOT cleaned, it's probably worth $150-$175 (keep in mind, I'm a novice and terrible participant in GTG, and the reverse pic is blurry). That being said, I could see someone paying in the $50-$75 range, IMHO.
realistically, after looking at the sold ones on fleebay...$10-20 would be a good expectation. I see a gouge on the obverse where the 'states' should be. and everything looks like it got a toothpaste rub.
Yes, but it looks like someone literally removed the word state. It does not look like a greaser, it looks severely damaged imo.
The feathers have a lot of detail. Therefore I would say it was lightly cleaned. and the result of states and ribbon detail reverse are due to a grease filled die. I think it would net at EF40, 45. really not my series though.
I'd like to see a better reverse pic (I see that these are best that you have though). I also think that the missing details are more a result of strike than wear. The obverse looks good though not seeing much wear on the high points, really a shame someone cleaned it looks to be a nice coin overall. I'd say AU details what someone would pay I'm not sure maybe $150 perhaps even higher I mean if someone was willing to pay $103.50 for this one below, which your coin blows away even with the cleaning imo http://www.ebay.com/itm/1857-Flying-Eagle-Cent-/351929491100?hash=item51f0a1de9c:g:T00AAOSwB09YSuEc&nma=true&si=fte90BKh3UYqk%2Bd7Jp3o%2FNluC38%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
I've been hearing all this "$10-20, $25" stuff and been wondering what coin those folks were looking at. I mean, really? What kind of wormhole to an alternate universe have I fallen into, here?
Stack up a roll of these at $10, $20, $25 apiece. I'll buy 'em all day long until I run out of money, then I'll go get a loan and buy the rest.
I paid a hundred bucks for this, for my Holey Coin Vest. Didn't have any trouble reselling it later, either. I forget offhand what I got when I sold it, but I did OK, or I would remember.
