IMO, you did very well with that coin. Despite the damage, it looks very attractive and still retains a lot of detail. Problem-free, that would be a $2000+ coin!

Environmental damage, environshmental damage! It's a beautiful coin. And I love how Lady Liberty has a little smile curling from her lips.

Awesome acquisition. Worthy of your fine collection.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

That's a nice interesting piece. The 1794 Half Cents have never gotten the press they deserve, but yet again, there are no that many of them around. If one were to become "a crazy obsessed type collector" who needed to have EVERY design the U.S. Mint System issued, there would be three or four varieties of 1794 Half Cents in that set. One 1794 and one 1795 Half Cent is good enough for me. Edited by billjones

Nice coin. I wonder what the Enviromental damage was described as.

Nice coin. I wonder what the Enviromental damage was described as. I don't think they would actually describe what it is. Might have been dug out of the ground or stored around water. I've been looking at a lot of these and I think it's the black color change that constitutes what TPG's consider to be environmental damage. I've seen far worse examples including examples labeled as corrosion selling on ebay for $1500 - $1900. I would like to learn more about environment damage as well. |
