nwc coin Pillar of the Community United States 516 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 7:33 pm Not the prettiest thing in the world - but a hole filler until I want to shell out the money for a nicer one :) I got it for $60.. The scratches dont look nearly as bad in hand as in the picture.. but they are definitely there. What do you think the net grade would be? I've been having second thoughts on this one.. Would you have stayed away? Report this Post to the Staff

cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 9:28 pm I personally would not have purchased this coin for any price. Too many issues. But then again I'm a snob. If you like it, great! As for grade, I'd give it G6, although I'm not experienced at looking at this particular type. I'm sure there are plenty of early copper pros on here that can give a definitive answer. Report this Post to the Staff
Rayman311 Valued Member United States 489 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 9:29 pm 60 sounds about right. Guessing here...S-230 R-2 in G. No expert though. Let's see if I'm close when the experts arrive. Report this Post to the Staff
Wei Fun Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 9:45 pm Ignoring the defects, I'd grade it VG details. How much it's worth? No idea. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 10:13 pm Looks to be an S-230. I can deal more with the corrosion than the scratches. On this one, I would have avoided. It does have pretty nice underlying detail though, nice for a G6. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 02:33 am I would have thought VG details too considering the nice bold date and hair detail. I like it! Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 04:01 am I am not surprised at all that the scratches were greatly exaggerated by the picture, I have had this problem before. I would grade the coin VG+ for detail. Report this Post to the Staff
