Washed 1931S value?

bornhunter · Oct 22, 2012

I got this some years ago in the condition that it is in now. It had obviously been cleaned by a kid or something like that. I'm sure I didn't pay much for it. My question is of course, what is it worth? I know that this and 99 more cents will get me a dollar. lol As you can or can't see, there is good definition on the wheat lines and else where.
Thanks for looking. BH

I would get it authenicated and slabbed. Even though it has been cleaned it looks 1000% better (to me) than most on auction sites. This doesn't mean it will get the BIG $$$ but there are LOTS of collectors who would love a "red" 1931S cent.

I'd trade you a Morgan Dollar right now for it!

You have a very nice coin right there.

I recently sold a 1910S cent. It was cleaned but it did not look half as good as yours. I got $30+.

Hope this helps.

I think the pics make it look better than it is. It looks cleaned in person. I am tempted to trade but I think it is at least worth the low end of rhe scale.
Thanks though, BH

It stands for "AWESOME! BRILLIANT! PERFECT!"

At least, that's what it SHOULD stand for.

i think ABP stands for "about poor" but i've never heard someone say that, but then again poor would be one or the only grade below good...

Think he means AG. WOLF

Sad this coin looks @ VF but the cleaning was harsh and that can and will kill a coins value. I would say as it sits you would do really good to get @ $40 for it. WOLF

A.B.P stands for Average Buying Price. this is the price at which the dealers are buying the coin in the first condition grade listed. I did not Know this also had to look it up.
