Just won on the bay $342, defiantly some problems. Wiped to death but a gold shield to boot 😆 Honestly I did not purchase this for my own collection as I do not need it. But rather to flip quick. Did I leave some meat on the bone here? Found the Tru view Bc the seller is a lazy sack naturally.

    Gonna guess you paid about what it’s worth

    You paid about 1/4 of what a straight graded piece would sell for, so I think you could make some money on it. It may take a while though. I'm not sure how many collectors are in the market for Details seated dimes.

    That is true, can’t say anyone is jumping out of there seats to find a details grade key date but I agree on the price. I know a LCS actually who would take it off my hands but they will go off grey sheet and take a percentage off for the details.

    I learned a long time ago, that problem coins are exceptionally difficult to sell. It is not that they cannot be sold, it is that they take multiple times longer to sell at a profitable price point than a problem-free example. How fast you turn over your money is very important in business, as it affects your capital demands.

    True and noted in my brain log lol seriously I may have jumped the gun on this one. I appreciate the advice

    All it takes is 2 people to want it. I sold a 12 sided VG 1864 awhile back on ebay that ended up close to $500!

    I like your coin!
