Looking for a grade for this coin so I can value it. My Darkside grading skills are very meager. Let me know what it grades and what you think of the coin. Thanks.

    I'd say strong EF-AU detail, but what's going on in the obverse field behind the bust? image -Preussen

    looks like it has been harshly wiped, at least behind the bust. As common as these are, I'd call it melt value or just a little more, due to the cleaning.

    I'm not sure. It may have been wiped or something image

    Nice coin no matter how you look at it. Seems to have some pitting on the eagle side. Still a nice coin though.

    I suspect this coin had been cleaned or wiped at one point which means it will only be about $25 above the gold melt price if at all. They are common coins, but well loved.

    This looks like a nice coin overall. It still has the details intact, but its off grade, so its not worth a premium above the gold value.

    i've got a handful of those in that condition if someone here is willing to pay me $25 above gold melt value. Heck, i'll even take $25 above SILVER melt value! image

    Teller had a really choice 1913 NGC MS66 that looked much better than the former PCGS MS66 that I used to have. I've been looking for one since I sold the "dog", but alas someone beat me to it over the holiday.

    I never saw it; I haven't looked at Teller's site in months. The "dog" wasn't one you sold me, was it? image -Preussen
