Looks F-15 to me Quote:
The pics are too good to be true. What do you mean by that? |

The coin came in today, what are your thoughts now and was it a deal at $450 or did I lose?   |

F-12. Possibly cleaned, but I don't think it will knock it down to a details grade. Is something going on on the reverse at 4 o'clock at the shield (a bump or something)?

F12. I agree with old cleaning but probably market acceptable

Jimbucks, I saw that in the pics as well but it is not visible in hand. It is just a little discoloration or something and not noticeable.

F-15 with an older cleaning. Sellers photos did not show that.

I would be a bit more generous on grade. I have an 1877-CC half with very similar wear overall; PCGS gave mine a VF-25 which I think would be appropriate for this piece. I'm also not seeing any severe cleaning. A straight grade seems very possible and this coin is well worth a submission.

When comparing the OP's coin with this 1871 CC in my collection (grade NGC F12), I conclude the OP's coin is very similar overall, maybe a touch better. Fine 12 or Fine 15 seems about right to me.  |

I just sent it off to get graded, I will post the grade once it comes back.

Clearly cleaned and, to me, less attractive than in the original pics.  |

Sorry, but that second set of pics was not encouraging. |
