<p>[QUOTE="EyeAppealingCoins, post: 3243501, member: 96749"]It wouldn't be worth the commissions and I doubt either Legend or Heritage would take it unless you have several other coins to consign with it. Typically, you need at least $5k in consignment value or better. Being in an ANACS slab will also likely be a problem for Legend.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wager is $225-$300, but it could go higher with better pictures if it images well. Why not hire a professional photographer and list it on eBay? I have sold toned Morgans on eBay for more than Legend did. I sold a nice Battle Creek for $2500 on eBay that went for $1500 at Legend when the new owner sold it. The second subsequent owner listed it again at Legend and also still netted less than $2500. My pictures were better. Not every coin does well at Legend. In order to do well there, it needs to be tip top monster quality (like the Northern Lights coins). This one is nice, but not in the same category IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
