CoinAdvocate Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 1:58 pm Hey guys, picked this up yesterday and was wondering if I was ripped off or what at $70, (as a side note it's an 1865/1865 that's why I got it even at $70) There's a separate thread for it on the error forums if you guys are interested. Thanks everyone CoinAdvocate It is not enough to merely enjoy coins; one must Advocate for them! Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 2:11 pm I think about au55bn with light circulation. The weak letters in the reverse may be due to a Grease Filled Die. There appears to be light corrosion/pitting in the right reverse field seen most clearly near the R and C in AMERICA.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 4:10 pm You paid a bit above list for this quality of coin $50-60 even w/ OVD, there is a slight market for these but not an active one, least I ain't seen one. That said is a rather nice circulated example, try a soaking in acetone and possible Verdicare, will only help the eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 5:34 pm I'm sorry to be a grumpy but that has been dipped and Retoned poorly. I recommend looking at a lot of NGC and PCGS copper and compare those that get details, cleaned, and those that don't. I don't think anyone who has bought raw 2 cents haven't bought a dipped or cleaned at least once, myself included. Once done, the color never recovers, at least not in a lifetime.
