The family and I are heading to Florida so I'm calling it on this one and the winner is... @ron_c. Buy it now price was 175.00 but I got it for 100.00. The cleaning wasn't as bad as I thought but it has a nice strike on the reverse. Thanks the guesses everyone. Next person take it away!

@ron_c you're up...

 

I normally stay away from details coins but that was a very good price for that coin. I think VG-F coins are selling in that range.

 

Don't have any more Details Grade coins.

Someone else can post something.

 

Ok I will go next with this:

Unc details-cleaned Russia 1924 Rouble
Melt is about $10 and Krause has MS 60 at $150
I would say MS 60-63 are closer to $90-$120 in terms of auction results.

 

World coins are so much harder, that is a good example where the details grade should likely be ignored.

100

 

$45

 

Yes that is very true. I have seen some details graded world coins where it looks like the TPG could have easily given a straight grade and other straight graded examples with distracting issues.

I just wanted to change up the US theme and throw out a different challenge.

 

125 here

 

Honestly with how that coin looks, if it has been cleaned and looks like that I just don't care that it's been cleaned.

 

45

 

@jwitten ron_C has dibs on 45

 

44? oops, haha

 

95. Great eye appeal. I'm basing this on world coins in general having less of a toning premium and also less of a discount for cleaning.

 

You're on a roll!
This cost $51 and I was happy to win it for that much. I think the details grade may have scared some people off, but it is a really nice coin. The cleaning is barely noticeable and I think the details rival most 63-64 examples. This is the type of details coins that I like to find.

@ron_c if you have found something else to post, it's your turn or feel free to pass it on to someone else.

 

So close, but unfortunately you went the wrong way

 

I really feel bad about this.

I don't have another Details Grade coin, so next gunner.
