<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2260739, member: 22331&quot;]I&#039;m a long time extensive buyer of these coins, only acquiring same in a certified condition. Based on your comments, I&#039;m suspecting that the $5 Coin you were trying to price is in a &quot;raw&quot; coin state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most coin price lists are unrealistic, including the current &quot;Grey Sheet&quot; bid values, and generally represent a dealers dream price. These prices are normally unrelated to current realistic market values.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of your feelings towards eBay, generally their sales values are reflective of the retail market, and I&#039;d suggest you locate coins of the same date and condition on eBay to establish a gross sales price for your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally, the condition of the coin will quickly be determined by the detail of the Obverse &quot;headband&quot;, and the feather detail at the top of the Reverse left wing. If all of the diagonal lines in the &quot;headband&quot; are not complete, you probably have a low grade coin which generally will show few to no feather detail at the top of the Reverse wing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally, if the coin doesn&#039;t have a prominent mint mark on the reverse, the coin will not command a &quot;premium&quot;. The 1909-D will also generally fall into this pricing category. The S mint coins generally command a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>In a minimal condition, raw state, I&#039;d expect a ~$300 offer from a dealer, and a net value received from an eBay sale of $350-$375. I can currently regularly acquire these coins in a certified EF-AU state for $425-$475</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this information is useful.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
