<p>[QUOTE="Ian, post: 76543, member: 283"]Carefull how you go. That type is not exactly in short supply, with many millions having been produced between 1741 and 1774 at numerous mints. The type is plagued by adjustment marks to the flan pre-strike, so you tend to find a lot of them with what looks to be heavy grooves in them. The type is also prone to be badly struck up in parts. So, a coin that hasn't got ugly obtrusive adjustment marks on it, and is fully struck up is (ideally) what you want to be on the look out for. </p><p><br /></p><p>$98 in VF seems to me to be a good price......even better if it is more close to EF than VF.</p><p><br /></p><p>check out ebay auction #8339839263. I would say that that one is almost VF. When I looked it was at about €54 euros. I would say that it is worth in the region of €75 ($90 ish) - €85 ($102). If your coin dealer is offering a trouble free coin in a similar grade, then it's probably a fair deal. Just my humble opinion of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
