Hey Folks, New to this forum :)and a I know very little about coins. This is a coin my mom gave me. 1827 One Cent but it looks like Lady Liberty has a beard. I was going to try and clean it but I was told not to.I wanted to put it on ebay but I think I need to have some knowledge bout it first. If anyone has a few minutes I would appreciate it.
That is an 1827 Coronet head large cent, the "beard" you are referring to looks like corrosion. It is probably a dug coin, you wouldn't get much more than $10 on ebay in that condition, better to hold onto it for its sentimental value. IMHO
