Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 05/05/2009 10:30 pm Welcome to the forum! I would say that this cent has strong VF details; easily VF-20, probably VF-30. You are right that the environmental damage does significantly reduce the value, but you have unearthed a neat little piece of history! Report this Post to the Staff
poconopete Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 11:08 pm I'd give it a VF-25. Th earth can really work on copper, but you can always wonder who touched it before you! Report this Post to the Staff
