Last month I found a 1873cc 25c with arrows quarter and would really like some opinions as to its worth. It came back graded PCGS genuine rimdmg XF-details.
I'm posting b4 grading pics. Sorry about the quality but i could upload attachments 50kb or less. I would really like some educated opinions as to its value.
they say theres not many out there.
thanks for taking a look

    No link.... we would need pictures. There are several varieties of this coin.... however, in genuine, the value will be lower. Cheers, RickO

    I have seen the pictures.... the rim ding did not look bad enough for a
    genuine.... is that what they specified? What was the genuine number assigned?
    It does not appear to be one of the highly valued varieties though. Cheers, RickO

    Wow that is quite the find. I would send it back for reconsideration as the rim dmg does not look that bad to stop it from straight grading. I am not sure of the series and would need someone more knowledgable to answer about pricing but not too many of these out there.

    Edit to add I would also post this on the US coin board as you will get more responses.

    It is a 5 figure coin. If you can find a collector who would consider holding a well detailed but non-graded example in a collection. image

    I didn't quite realize the value yesterday! Tomorrow I'll poke around heritage auction archives to see if any have sold recently, and what they have sold for. Will hopefully get you a ballpark value.

    It all depends on the variety....there are at least five, and not all are highly
    valued. Cheers, RickO

    ricko, yes, it was for luckyiguess. Checked through heritage auction archives and sent some historical actuals for the most similar ones I could find.

    Amazing find.



    I wouldn't sweat the "Details" grade. I suspect that even if they hadn't noted a rim hit, they would've still "Details" graded it and said "Environmental Damage".



    The only real reason to put this coin in a slab is for authentication purposes, and that has been established, so it's all good, I say, regardless of the commentary on the label.



    PS- that coin was a strong AU when it hit the dirt! Had there been any of the original luster remaining (which of course is highly unlikely on a dug coin), they'd almost certainly have given it AU details!
