I got it for $50 - I just could not resist.
(Edit - I had it mixed up with another one. The shipping cost was minimal because it was won with several other lots).

KopperKen, do you really think VF? I was thinking F because of condition and since it was my first one, I bid conservatively!

A definite VF20 in my opinion.

Very nice cent. When you photograph, turn off the flash and put it in macro mode. It'll take more realistic looking photos that way. This site is old, but it still shows a great way to take photos of coins: http://www.uscents.com/articles/DCP/DCP001.htm |

What a great site! When things calm down, I am going to work on my photography and definitely refer to this. Thank you so much.

That's a beautiful classic head, looks like VF-ish. Now it should be addicting!

No problem. I am sure (I hope) this is not the last coin you buy.  |

CK:
I would grade the obverse VF25, maybe even VF30. There is great detail there. the reverse a little less, VF-20. The numerical grade is for the details. Because of the issues you certainly wouldn't pay VF dollars for this. I think you did OK.
