[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 5147777, member: 105098"]I was half expecting to see a Hawaii State or Park quarter and pleasantly surprised to see this. The shininess especially, but the flatness of the mustache and edge of the beard give it completely away as been having work done on it and it's not Mint State, although it probably was before heavy polishing to remove contact marks or scratches. At least AU before it was messed with, the high cheek beard and mustache shows wear first on this issue. it's unfortunate. still worth something to someone, but not what it could have been worth if it wasn't manipulated, if sent for grading they will catch it and bodybag it, grading it isn't going to help the value. so in this case I'd say, not worth the additional cost. Personally I'd say it still has a value though, Possibly it could have been a low to mid MS that was heavily scratched or dinged or both, the hair and lower beard suggest it was likely MS before someone messed with it, and now maybe it's low AU to a XF as far as detail, with an unnatural shine of course.... as far as what someone would pay for it, that's dependent on how many problem free coins come up for auction and how often it happens that they turn up for sale. it might drop it's value down to VG if there's enough examples that are problem free popping up in auctions realistically. $50 maybe $75, up to $100 tops I'd think depending on frequency they turn up for sale. worth more than melt for sure.... It's at least worth $20 without a doubt to someone.[/QUOTE]
