[Tank69]

both look like beauties

 

[fistfulladirt]

Nice, that 1898 0 looks real crisp, solid liberty, my redbook says $220-$325, of course it's dug, still $$$$$ 1904 looks sharp too! ffd

when reffering to redbook please include year of redbook.... my 2010 redbook has it listed at 325.00 for vf an 450.00 EF.... I am very sure it would be one of those grades.... after dropping a grade for being dug....

Sorry Creep, 2010 Redbook, I guessed grade at f-12 to vf-20 for a dug coin. ffd

I think you have a chance of getting AU-50 details (Dug/cleaned) on the 1898 O.

Nice find !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

Nice find !!

I don't think it would grade that high being dug Mud, I think it might have a very small chance of being au-50 but with it being dug you would need to down grade it 1-2 grades those are the grades I posted

 

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

I think there is a good chance.

Keep @ it and HH !!

Your not understanding what I am saying.. I am saying that had this been in a store for sale it would probly be au 50, but since it was dug it would be au-50 an dropped a grade or 2 for being dug

Nice barber halfs. After 38yrs. I have yet to find a silver half of any kind. Mike.

I understand you very well. I am well aware of the fact coins lose value and grade if dug. If anything I try to make it clear to people on here they will never get a coin graded properly as long as its dug. Any time I see grading brought up I try and tell people this. As for this coin I think they can get cleaned or dug with AU details. I'm not saying it will grade AU i'm saying the detail is there and it will likely get AU-details but cleaned or dug.... I don't think your understanding me.

I'm happy we are having this talk it will help other people understand about grading dug coins. I'm not saying the above to be rude or to disrespect you or to argue at all. I'm just saying what I know and trying to help others understand. Please don't take anything I said personal.

in that case I would agree maybe AU-50 DETAIL but XF GRADE.. I have large cent that Heritage auction graded as AU-50 DETAIL XF grade

 

[JerV3]

There both really nice.

The barber halfs are hard to come by. I've been lucky to find as many as I have.
