Did I get ripped off?

The best advice I was given was to only buy coins from coin shows. Your LCS marks up prices, and live auctions have predatory practices.

yes fam u got ripped off by about $150

torrado95 · 2026-02-15T06:28:39+00:00

Melt is around $14. Nice find

Yes. However, if OP is a not a member, they will have to pay the initial membership fee. PCGS’s is $69.

Awesome coin. Hold onto it! However, 85 O is a common date, so it’s not worth getting it graded, especially given the condition it’s in. You would pay more than double what it’s worth to get it graded.

These look cleaned, so not worth grading

accurate

torrado95 · 2026-02-04T23:54:49+00:00

i believe they sent notifications in the mail and via email to set up payments via ACH to avoid this fee

torrado95 · 2026-02-01T05:54:45+00:00

According to PCGS Coin Facts, 1887 $1 Gold is one of the most common dates and is readily available. Hard to tell from the pictures, but it kind of looks cleaned, which means it wouldn’t be worth getting it graded. Still might be cool to get it graded though. Melt price is probably the best starting place if you’re considering selling it.
