<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 623067, member: 19122&quot;]An interesting discussion, I think that shmolo is to be commended for an honest effort on behalf of a friend. I say this because I had to get an evaluation of my dads collection to help settle his estate. What I did was slightly different, I got some books, did some internet checking, and then took a sampling to some local dealers, I put a value (amount of money that a dealer would pay) and then compared to what values various local dealers assigned to it. From what I have read ten percent variation is acceptable, the worst difference was one dealer was three percent under, the rest were all a couple percentage over.</p><p>It cost me to have the dealers give me an appraisal, but I felt it was worth it to check to see wether I was able to do a creditable job of it.</p><p>&nbsp;I would offer this advice to shlomo, though you feel you cannot afford this coin, if you have an interest in collecting peace dollars it might be a good filler that you can upgrade over time. </p><p>&nbsp;I have an 1895-s that is a vg, the plan is to upgrade it someday with a cash and trade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
