dcas55 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 11/26/2015 11:27 am Hello, I came across this large cent and don't know much about these old copper coins. Can you please give me your opinions on grade and is that corrosion or just dirt. Should I do anything about it or just leave it alone. Thanks dcas55 Report this Post to the Staff
