Ok, Pretend you're looking at an eBay auction.................

..............and these are the pics you have to look at and decide your bid.
What would you grade it and how much would you bid?

I would say about VF 30 money.

Face value?

I would hit the back button. I won't bid on seller's auctions where it is painfully obvious they do not know how to properly handle coins.

how much is vf 30 money ?

ColonialCoinUnion

I agree with K6AZ. I think there are enough coins available in the various auctions, dealer inventories, bourse floors, goodie bags and other eBay auctions that you can let this one go.

I'd say the coin is a decent EF, if a teeny bit scuffy. (Edit: on second glance, I'm not so sure.)

VF30 money is about right, I guess.

Hey, K6AZ- at least the guy is handling the coin by its edge.

Numismedia says $82 in VF and $132 in EF. I reckon VF30 money would be around a hundred bucks?

I don't think I would bid a hundred bucks on that.

ss350camaro

I understand what some of you are saying about handling...etc.... but play along with me here.

What would you bid for a coin like this ? What's it worth ? (please, no "vf30" ...... etc ..... I honestly have nooo idea what those values are

)

Thanks


edited after Robs post. Thanks Rob for your breakdown of the $'s

Just throwin' a figure to the wind, I'd say I personally would go 75-80 bucks tops, though the coin's probably worth more. It does look to have some hints of red hiding in places, and I suspect it looks better than the picture.

VF-20 tops! Its in real bad shape for an 1851. Too many better examples out there to bid on that coin.
Maybe you'll get $50 for it on eBay.

I would net grade it Fine due to porosity


and bid up to $30 including delivery

BigGreek

If I had to buy it I would not pay more than $20 since it is corroded

ss350camaro

It ended up at $55+

I did not win it

etexmike

When it comes to money I don't even pretend.

Pass on that one.

You should be able to find a much nicer example for that money. I bought this one on eBay in February of 2004 for only $80, it's much nicer than the picture shows and an error coin to boot.

I think the value is that you have the sellers fingerprints on file
