here is the coin I have decided to give to the winner. 1843 petite head large cent. probably wouldnt strait grade because of the reverse rim bumps but it will look great in a 7070.   |

i cant get it to VF. F15. decent planchet with a little but of corrosion in front of the profile/ some pock marks in the neck area and a small scratch on the eye. these early coppers can be a challenge for a number of reasons in this case weak strike
1996 price - $26

My guess is $30  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I'm impressed with the large Cud on the reverse. I'm not qualified at all to grade these, so using general coin knowledge I say F12 range. Thanks for the impromptu contest. I say you paid $24. |

So the closest I can get to the price in 1996 is 2003 at $325.00 value but he must have paid half the average buying price so $162.50 not even close to my first guess.

I agree with Panzaldi at F15 the light corrosion holds it back from the VF range. Wow a 1996 price huh? I'll go cherrypicked for $8.00 as a normal junk box coin and no variety mentioned when you scored it.

Yeah! An impromptu contest! I'm not very good at grading but will throw in a guess of F15 and $20.
