<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2155721, member: 19463&quot;]I would love to have the coin but would never pay the price someone who likes slabs would ask for a coin they considered XF.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is a common type and worth a a lot more than a junker like mine but it is now for the specialized slab market.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d call mine (slightly different type) a fine, yours a VF and would add positive comments about the patina.&nbsp; That would make yours fairly worth about 5-8 times mine.&nbsp; Without the scratches, maybe 10 times? [ATTACH=full]414295[/ATTACH]&nbsp; The scratches are under the patina which would make them greatly more acceptable to my eye unless I saw anything on the surfaces suggesting the patina was added, not original.&nbsp; That would be hard to say after a coin has been slabbed.&nbsp; From what I see, I like the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
