Don't think so on the roller lines, but don't know much about them. The Cud is an N-6 indicator, I think. |

F-15 seems about right. No roller lines. Some minor planchet defects, and obverse streaking from copper impurities.

F details, obverse environmental damage (pitting/corrosion), scratched (above head at S7-S8), obverse has been cleaned probably trying to "fix" the corrosion Hard pass. The Cud is popular but these are very common and not that difficult to find. Now, if you ever run across one without the Cud, that's a different story altogether!

Sorry, paralyse, but I bought it for $50 including shipping. I thought it was worth that money based on Greysheets and I'm OK with my bid.

Very nice buy, seldom disagree with paralyse, but do in this case.

I can't fault paralyse because I have respect for his opinions. There is some apparent corrosion between stars 4 and 5 and also by star 13 that he didn't mention. I felt that the bid I put forth ($45) was a reasonable bid based on condition. The scratch between stars 7-8 to me is negligible, but he may have a point. I looked at auction coins that were slabbed F15 and this was on a par with them. I see Greysheet 1836 N-6 in F15 as an $84 coin. I don't see any obverse cleaning, but I defer to those among you with more experience.

My logic behind the cleaning is the obverse streakiness.
It sort of looks like planchet streaks, but those would be on the reverse as well.
Perhaps there is another explanation.
I think you paid a very fair price for it!

IMO those obverse streaks are in the planchet from impurities in the copper. It would be more obvious if they were on both sides, but it's possible for it to be visible on only one side, just like a Lincoln woodie is occasionally seen on just one side. And those areas of pitting might be some small planchet defects. I think you did well.

I'm with Zurie on obverse streaks are in the planchet from impurities in the copper as well as paralyse assessment with the corrosion. I'm not convinced the coin was cleaned but although the corrosion is planchet related it would still detail the coin.
F15 details (corrosion)

I'll change my assessment to "not cleaned" but the obverse damage is sadly quite extensive.

Ended up sending it back, but hated to. I guess I'll see if I can find another in a little better condition. Love the "E's" with the missing horizontals on their bases.
