Is this coin worth buying?

[stevo1962]

Need help with this one as it has a flaw on the obverse on the left hand side of the king's robe.It's an uncirculated coin but is it worth buying with the flaw and how much would you pay?

I don't really keep my finger on the pulse but are UNC 1935 pennies hard to source? If not I'd probably wait for something nicer, but if it's a bargain then I might consider it.

Not a difficult year as such but could probably pick it up for about $55

I would not pay more than $60.
Would be OK at that price.
That seller grades quite conservatively.
And even undergrades sometimes.
He has a nice 12 shilling by the way.
I reckon its a bargain.

Yeah might let this one go as I cant tell whether it's damage or a flaw

Flaw. See the shadows from the overhang?
I'd see it as adding value, but I'd also be asking for better detail shots.

Walter said it was a flaw as well,I suppose it is pretty cheap at $60

I presume you've seen that $295 one?

So yeah, $60 is OK if its really UNC.
My major concern would be that cancer near the date, and whether its been arrested. Sure there are no better pics available?

I ended up buying it for $58 including postage.I am hoping that mark is an oil stain or something that will come off with a touch of acetone.It doesnt look like cancer but I'd guess the worst scenario would probably be a stain

[Mister T]

I think you did okay for $58. I would have been tempted.

Yeah,nice coin & fair price,only thing IMO is the high mintage years are slow to resell so the purchase is mainly for a personal collection.

[enworb]

I would have got it for that price Steve. Nice pick up.

Yes fairly common Basil but not at that price.I usually just buy to hold so hopefully I'll pick up some earlier coins as well along the way

I would have got it for that price Steve. Nice pick up.

Keep your eye on that seller as he has some great coins and will accept the occasional offer

Who is the seller mate?
