There are so many coin shops in Greensboro! I am so used to having none within a 30-minute drive. I don't know if I posted this or not, but I recently moved to Greensboro, NC for a Co-Op with HondaJet. So far I am enjoying everything (though my apartment leaves a little to be desired...).

Anyhoo, I just got back from visiting my second coin shop in just as many weeks, both 10min from where I live (and there are still two others to check out!). Here is my purchase. It was one of two things that was not overpriced in this shop (the other being an EF-45+ 1850 dime).

I grade her at VF-35. The price I paid is on the 2x2. How did I do?

Such a very lovely girl. Just barely misses EF-40. Love that coin. Great buy, as far as I'm concerned, with that great O mint mark.

Looks like it has a great chance at XF40 if submitted to PCGS.

And congrats on your move!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I agree with VF-35. Not quite enough meat on the bone.

I think VF-35 is right on the money and the coin is attractive. $75 is a steal for this coin.

I'm planning on it. I have not been to a show in almost two years. Looking forward to this one.
