<p>[QUOTE=&quot;digibyte, post: 1766326, member: 56443&quot;]This was just an example. I have looked at a few coins slabbed and not graded and was wondering how much it effected the value. My thinking was about 50%, but I noticed on some key dates people will tend to pay quite a bit more than the coin is actually worth. I guess it is what the buyers or bidiots will pay.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ah, I kind of thought damage was really bad if it is front and center on the coin. I have seen a couple that had damage on the reverse toward an edge and it didn&#039;t bother me that much. I have to assume I could safely pay 50-60% if the damage is on the reverse and not horrible damage. To be honest I wouldn&#039;t even consider a coin with obvious damage to the obverse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Eye of the beholder! Yeah, I know that one guy will pay more than another and that&#039;s true of any antique etc. I gather from what has been said that if there is slight to moderate damage that it is better on the reverse than the obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
