What would you pay for this coin?

Maybe $500

robkool

$500 cash... Or $550 trade...

XF-45 $635 in coin values. Would pay no more than that. Probably happy with $580-$600.

As a bullion purchase only.

Sweated and wiped generations ago. No grade. No sticker.

I figured it would be a coin that's worth near melt, but the guides I've been reading all say about $600 for it.

The reverse rims seem to "rounded" to me like it may have been slightly filed to remove some roughness......and it looks like it has been scrubbed and as such I would have a hard time paying more then $475 to $480 for the coin which represents a 4% to 5% premium over melt.......IMHO

I see no evidence of either sweating or wiping. Most circulated $10 Libs are far baggier than this specimen which appears to be a fairly nice coin for the grade.

The rounded rims you see are typical for this series. I see no evidence of any kind of rim filing or any harsh cleaning.

I guess that we should agree to disagree...............have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worth 'melt' in my opinion. About $500.

Folks here are saying as much as $600? I'd demand a nicer example for that much, as nicer ones can be found. By nicer, I mean "eye candy", not grade.

I do not know if it is the lighting, but where I ought to see luster...I see a matte surface. I'm not certain what converts luster to "powder". I have my suspicions.

Longacre mentions "sweated". What does that mean?

Sweating was the practice of putting many gold coins in a bag or box and then shaking it violently. Spend the coins and your profit is the gold dust remaining behind in the bag or box.
