[QUOTE="Lueds, post: 8204083, member: 109500"]Sold listings on eBay show this coin in MS67 RD condition went for $28-$75. Your coin would NOT get that designation, so you would be throwing good money away. The Zinc Blisters(Gas bubbles) are actually a result of the internal zinc cores not being washed properly before being copper coated. Ultimately they are cancer for the coin, it will deteriorate to nothing over time with the core being exposed to the elements. I hope this helps you :cool: I will also add, that the guidelines given for determining whether or not to grade a coin given above are good tips. I personally have only graded one coin as it's grade was borderline Very Fine and Extremely Fine. The VF coin would be worth $350, XF $1100, it turned out to be XF, so in my case it was $60 well spent. [ATTACH=full]1438060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1438061[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
