Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine / Near Mint (CGC 9.0 - 9.2)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking vertical crease/scratch running down the center of the dark area; minor shelf wear on bottom edge; slight surface scuffing visible under direct light.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.0+): $40 - $65
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for approximately $8-10. High-grade slabbed copies (9.8) command higher premiums due to the iconic Civil War era cover.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless a high 9.8 is expected. The visible vertical scratch/crease in the image likely keeps it under the 9.4 threshold, making grading costs higher than market value.
