Great find did you use your fisher or your mxt? no just kidding was it a good price?

 

[dig kzoo]

That is awesome!

The value of the coin would be about the cost of grading and slabbing, or fairly close

Roughly what do you feel the grade might be?

In EF 40 that's about a $200 coin. VF around $100. I personally wouldn't get it slabbed but it certainly has some gorgeous detail. Great find

Sent from a empty soda can!

Then on top of that are shipping charges each way... so add another $30

Absolutely you can count on $65-$70 by the time it's all said and done. That why I wouldn't bother unless I had a really valuable coin

Totally worth it imho. Slabbing is the best way to protect a coin, not to mention validate its condition and value. Forever. Done.

This is where I raise an eyebrow toward Ahab8...

I'm sending it out bud. I had it professionally photographed by a buddy of mine today. The pics are incredible. Now I'm ready. Especially after I had some very knowledgeable coin guys tell me they thought it would grade pretty darn high and be worth a nice amount

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice looking coin.
