While detractors in themselves will not make a valueable

coin entirey worthless, they will significantly impact

desirability to a collector, thus value.


In the end, the value of a coin is what someone will pay for

it, based on their own judgement of condition, scarcity,

value, desirability, and what they are willing to pay to own it.


If many people desire a particular coin and there aren't

many available, it makes sense that the value is going to

be more than for a coin that is more common, in worse

condition, or is less appealing.


For the purposes of our valuation guides, we assume that

the coin in question has no significant detractors, and is

solid example of the grade in question, in a natural,

unaltered state.

Value and spec information is sourced from various locations, including coin literature, coin dealers, resource websites, and asking price for online sales by reputable coin

dealers. All values are based on what you might expect to pay to buy a coin from a reputable dealer. Many factors affect value aside from grade. For the purposes of our

estimated values, we assume that the coin has no other detractors. All values are estimates only, based on third-party information. AllCoinValues.com do not guarantee

prices to be accurate, nor take any responsibility for how you use the information provided. Our site is maintained by funds from our sponsors and advertisers.
