I was sitting at a dealers table looking at an over graded $5 indian PCGS MS64 when the luster on this raw $2 1/2 caught my eye. At first I thought the price said $1,165 as the coin looked 63 from under the glass of the cabinet but then I noticed it said $165. I left the table without asking about it because the dealer was getting swamped with customers. I came back when he slowed down and asked to see it. He handed it to me and I was excited to see it had nice luster and I was really thinking MS63 until I turned it over and the reverse had this big gash on the eagle
althought the luster on the reverse was very nice. He offered it to me for $150. I know this coin is damaged but without that gash I would grade it MS63. What's a coin like this worth? mike

Sorry I can't answer your question about value but it looks like a KEEPER to me whatever it's worth.

It has .121 oz of gold anyway -> $40 ?
Does it pass the diagnostics - obverse - no depression above the 14 in the date and no tooling around the necklace and hair?
