<p>[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3617487, member: 22377"]As mentioned by some already, details coins tend to trade for a discount but that discount really depends on the severity of the problem. Some details coins still have decent eye appeal and do have a market (I’m in the process of filling a type set with mainly details coins since I can put them in an album and not have to pay as much as for problem-free examples).</p><p><br /></p><p>This gold coin still looks nice based on the photo and will sell for quite a bit above melt. I’d compare it to other details examples and expect the price to be at least in the middle of those if not closer to the top. A local coin store might not offer much, but that is not the best venue to sell a coin like this (specialized dealer, another collector, or an auction is best).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
