<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1210324, member: 21705&quot;]There&#039;s always a preference for problem free coins. I do think that a problem free coin in that condition would have drawn 3K+ in bidding. The question in my mind is how much to discount a rare coin with problems. I figure it like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>F15 Details on a Head of 94</p><p><br /></p><p>Common problem Free - $1,000 - $1,500</p><p>PLUS R5+ @ 300%&nbsp; $3,000 - $4,500 (possibly more for Die State Rating (R7 or R8)</p><p>minus Damage and Condition issues.</p><p>This one drew about 33% of my estimate for a problem free R5+ 1794. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is that too much or too little?</p><p><br /></p><p>I love details and have less problem with damage than many. Others have big issues with verdigris and corrosion won&#039;t touch a coin even at 10% of problem free. Some old timers wanted clean edges more than problem free surfaces. This is where the dealers have to help us with the desires of the current market verses individual taste to evaluate current value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug prefers the G4 problem free for the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>G4 Details on a Head of 94</p><p><br /></p><p>Common problem Free - $350 - $400</p><p>PLUS R5+ @ 300%&nbsp; $1,050 - $1,200 (possibly more for Die State Rating (R7 or R8)</p><p><br /></p><p>At least my ballpark estimate seems about right</p><p><br /></p><p>R5 @ 250%</p><p>R5- @ 200%</p><p>R4+ @175%</p><p>R4 @150%</p><p>R4-@125%[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
