$20 1907 wire edge St Gaudens high relief

I sent it in for grading, the body of the coin is fantastic but the wire edge has been knocked off in spots and I can see near an edge where it looks like someone might have taken a file. So I am pretty sure it will come back as details. Where does one find what the value might be in a details coin like this?

    Once you get the (expected details) grade, you can search auction archives for various detail grade examples.

    I love the High Relief and UHR design of 1907, I would imagine that the wire edge gets battered around first in circulated grades. Would it knock down an otherwise MS coin down to AU?

    It graded AU details, filed rim.

    Too bad about the grade... However, I am sure it will still command a decent premium. Good luck, Cheers, RickO
