Evening Community,

I was seeing if anyone could help in the direction of pricing for a coin.  It’s a 1851 O 2.5$ gold Liberty NGC VF35* 1851/851 overdate. Really nice Coin for the grade with no heavy or major defects marks etc.  has nice color and luster that’s left on the coin for being in circulation.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, enjoy.

This forum is primarily for actual sell, buying and trades.

Ask the same question here... https://boards.ngccoin.com/forum/90-newbie-coin-collecting-questions/  or

...use the NGC Coin Price guide to assist you.(or feebay, pcgs...and other locations) https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/united-states/

Grading part is going to be a learning curve, the folks in newbie forum are more than happy, most of the time...hahaha, to help.

1887, not 97 as stated.

Try the Marketplace Forum, might have better luck.

It appears our host and pcgs decided to give the ASE Type1 and 2 a "value", I'll assume they wait for the dust to settle to determine how many get submitted/graded.
NGC currently: Type 1 MS70 reg. label $60 ... Type 2 MS70 reg. label $65
PCGS currently: Type 1 MS70 reg. label $70 ... Type 2 MS70 reg label (no current value)

I understand that, is there a way to get further description of how it was manipulated? For example, whizzing, dipping, etc?

Unfortunately that's pretty much the only words or description you'll receive, it's not exactly a great assist for those that are trying to learn regarding this issue. Needless to say somewhere my same question was asked here some time ago....with no defined response.

According to NGC's World Coin Price Guide it is :

https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/mexico-estados-unidos-mexicanos-5-centavos-km-426a-1960-1965-cuid-1116306-duid-1427452

I don't think I'd be the person directly under the rhino during a lift, it just begs for a Darwin moment...haha

I have a 1912 G$2½ Indian AU58 and it's current "value" per NGC is $515 and melt @ Melt Value: $221.28 (9/4/2021). Her coin looks to appear a grade or 2 better than mine judging from the "slightly fuzzy" images. Definitely not a melt.  Once you hit the MDS62 grade and up the value increases quite a bit. The 1911's are the highest value in this date range.

The 1903 I can only refer you to Coin Explorer here. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/liberty-head-10-1838-1907-pscid-67/1903-10-ms-coinid-18752

1960 Cyprus 5 Mils.

@Hoghead515 "On August 16, 1960 Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom" hence the 1960 date, 1963 is the actual date of the coin.

In 1963, the Republic of Cyprus began to issue its first coins. These were struck at the Royal Mint in London. The coins in the 1963 issue consisted of the following: 1 mil, 5 mils, 25 mils, 50 mils, and 100 mils.

@EdG_Ohio  You have a comparatively small old gold coin with a fairly respectable high grade as assigned by a top TPGS.

So far, so good.

Now your only concern is predicting the future performance of precious metals markets.  It's been said gold, subject to fluctuations, has held its value throughout history. You've done just about all you can in terms of prolonging preservation so all you can do now is wait.  No one can predict the future -- and I do not know how many other such coins have survived in such condition or whether what you have is rare -- but these are questions your progeny will have to contend with. You have done all you can with what you've got so be sure to safeguard it as you would any other valuable.

I suppose I should clarify my statement. When referring to prices I meant what the TPGs charge. NGC just recently increased their fees and given when the  time comes for reselling,  or even researching, the bulk of the work has been done. I can't see grading services getting any less expensive so I'd rather pay a lower fee now as opposed to a higher fee later.

Im not really sure if I've post this here already but i dont think so. Anyhow when my granny past and i inherited her collection i found this token as i call it. I have been able to obtain this about it (ユニオ(unio)) but nothing else and hopeing some one here may can shine a little light on it for me.

weight- 5.1 grams
diameter- 24.81 mm
thickness 1.45mm
Composition- unknown 

 

I'm guessing but I'm leaning towards a Aviation union token/coin.
Was she or another older family member by chance have a job related to Aviation ?

Arrived in perfect condition - USPS. The medal was withdrawn when FDR died in April 1945.

Probably one of the nicer profile depictions seen on a coin/medal/commemorative and The Rev eagle gives the appearance of "hit me, I can take it"  
Very nice eye appeal !

It caught my eye as well and so did the price tag,   just not room in the budget for it right now. I've adopted a wait and see mentality for all U.S. Mint products, wait and see how much the price drops. I wonder if they'll add a U.S. Space Force medal to the series?

I'd seriously consider it if I wasn't suppose to be chasing the 59-D 5c down and a few world coins of 59'. Perhaps another day.

@Hoghead515Coin explorer has it as:

Received my , seems like daily, promotional email from the Mint and this was for the 2.5oz Coast Guard silver metal.  I have to admit I kinda like it, not so much the price, as it shows the ship forging forward through the seas. It's sort of dramatic in the way its presented.

"USCGC Hamilton (WMSL-753) is the fourth Legend-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard. She is the fifth cutter named after Alexander Hamilton, who was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury and in that position requested the formation of the United States Coast Guard."

1. I have never submitted any coins before so I want to do so at the cheapest cost possible. From what I remember, that's $18 per coin plus postage back to me. Please show me in the menu where I can find this guide again.

2. Where can I buy these coin flips it talks about in the submission process?

3. I don't know about mm - I have Silver Eagle coins I want to get graded and I don't know the size for them - anyone?

4. My Silver Eagles are PROOF coins. I would TOTALLY prefer sending them in the plastic that is included in the box from the mint. I don't want to touch them at all. I was always told that proof coins were never touched by human hands. Do I still need to remove them and put them in a coin flip, as described?

Thanks,

David Wier

If you follow the NGC link and scroll towards the bottom of the page it will describe to you the difference on PF, PF C and PF UC. The Cameo and Ultra Cameo will generally bring in more value and they can be quite attractive also.

Check this out. I guess this is the next stop for all our master debaters after they are told their damaged penny is damaged.

I wonder why he didn't just try to claim it was a Mt. St. Helens coin. There is no such a thing, but most people who would buy a parking lot coin as an error would probably swallow that. They also wouldn't realize that it was minted over two decades after the eruption.
