Question QUESTION: Hi I got a Philippines 1908 10 centavo coin in Fine grade plus. What do they sell as.
ANSWER: Hello Yen,
Coins are valued on a scale from 1 to 70.
Most circulated coins range from Good (grade-G4) to Almost Uncirculated (grade-AU50) on the scale. Only a strictly uncirculated coin can grade Mint State between 60 and 70.
Very Good (Grade-8) = $1.00
Fine (grade-12) = $1.50
Very Fine (grade-20) = $2.00
Extremely Fine (grade-40) = $3.00 and
Almost Uncirculated (grade-50) = $5.00
For mint state grades the coin value ranged from $10 to $20 dollars. For a specimen coin
with no defects such as having been cleaned, dented, scratched etc..
Good Luck
PapaJack
