SGS would indeed call this "problem free".

BTW, I might pay 50 cents for this gal, no more

I'd buy it for that price if it was an 1877. I do always wonder what has to occur for a coin to end up like this.

I'm guessing this one was involved in a nuclear weapons test.

I've just been watching so I haven't bid against you (yet).
They always go for more than I anticipated. Anything decent goes for over $100 easy

Since I don't yet have an 1870 for my IHC set, it would be an upgrade for me...

I'm looking for a decent, VG-F problem free example. They are out there. You'll pay a slight premium for a problem free example.

I looking for the same thing, Dave. I was hoping about a hundred but it looks like closer to $200.
I'll be checking a coin show and my B&M during the next few weeks, I'm thinking my coin dealer might
take my G4 coin in trade, we'll see. Keep us posted.

Man that coin fell off the ugly tree - not only hitting every branch on the way down, it might have been run over by the ugly train after it fell!
