update 1875 seated liberty twenty cent appraisal

[goldbill]

I took the twenty to a local coin dealer who I think is fair. The place was very busy with the price of metal what they are. I told the owner i had no interest in selling this coin but could he give me his opinion of it .He was kind enough to take the time . He seemed to be very pleased that it was a twenty and as Mainer said even more that it was a cc .He said that this is easily a vf with very minor enviromental damage . He didn't seem to see the flaw beside the wing (I did not bring it to his attention,he was very busy) for some reason that is much more obvious on camera than to the eye ,weird. Any how he said being a cc coin makes this worth hundreds more !!! this could easily be worth 600 to 650 !!! Someone in the coin shop said thats a find of a lifetime. . . i perfer to think not, if someone 125 years ago had this twenty in his pocket and lost it why couldn't he or she have had two? I think this lady has a sister out there somewhere in the cold Maine soil just waiting to be rescued!!! thanks for the views and comments ..H.H. bill

From one Mainer to another, I hope she does have a sister waiting to be found cause I would love to find one. Congrats again on a very rare find.

Hey Bill ! That is a Banner find and it may still make it ! I,m pretty sure this coin had a brother ! In your original post you said found it at a site we had hunted together this spring ! I found this 1877 CC mint quarter at that spot the year before ! They must be related ! MaineRelic

Understanding how coins circulated back then, it is extremely rare that a Carson City (no less a Twenty cent'er) would be found in Maine. Nice find and congrats.

Most values I see posted for finds are a bit overly optimistic, but I completely agree with this one! Just check Ebay, a crap 1875 cc gets a couple hundred bucks.

You hit the daily double... rarity with condition! The rarity is the tough one, and most times if you get it you don't get the condition. It's great getting both!

I absolutely agree with IP's comments regarding your twenty cent piece - real rarity + condition
equals solid value , no argument ! Wonderful find !!! Argentium.
