jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 2579 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 4:55 pm Cannot believe this coin is already up to nearly $150 with all the problems it has! https://www.ebay.com/itm/1857-Sm-Da...AOSwntRf9jfK Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 2579 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 5:01 pm no such thing for that year. Small date is slightly less common. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 7636 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 5:24 pm Not really hairlines per se, more like multiple light scratches, though Frisco Mint is a good seller, it's Chris McCawley and his nephew and nephews' friend. I've bought a few coins from them and they do have nice stuff. No fakes either. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Rothery Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 5:39 pm Low mintage of about 333,500 - and the last year of production? The coin does have damage and looks to have been cleaned at one time, plus verdigris seems to be coming back - Maybe the bidders didn't mouse over the pictures to get a zoom view......

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54809 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 5:40 pm Looking at past sales, I guess that's an OK price for a straight coin, but that face looks pretty messed up.. Edited by Coinfrog 01/16/2021 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 1996 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 10:26 pm Not to mention the obverse graffiti in the west field. Looks like MA....maybe an X. Not sure what people see in examples like this. My AU-MS Buffalo Ni. Set My In-Progress Registry Set Report this Post to the Staff

Highly unlikely Chris's team would miss something like that. He's a top-end EAC dealer so a problem like you mentioned would be a gross mistake on his part. BUT As for the price, I've noticed his items on eBay are often valued higher than I'd expect. I buy from him at Baltimore Whitman shows and get very reasonably priced coins. Of course there hasn't been a show for over a year. Describe it as if there were no picture. Picture it as if there were no description. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 2828 Posts	Posted 01/17/2021 09:37 am Looks like a details coin to me, but at least his description was pretty accurate. Definitely a steep price for that coin. Report this Post to the Staff
cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2226 Posts	Posted 01/17/2021 09:42 am I've bought from Chris and agree that he is a reputable dealer and an expert in early copper. His listing does not claim that this coin is not a details coin. He shows good pictures for bidders to make their own decision. The price seems slightly high but OK for a clear graded coin but too high for a details coin which I think it is. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

He's a top-end EAC dealer so a problem like you mentioned would be a gross mistake on his part. I'm by no means putting this on the seller. They listed at auction, with clear pictures. They never claimed the coin wasn't a Details coin. ( Edit: although I did feel they minimized the issues a bit.) The buyers determined the price. I AM putting it on the buyer though. This is 100% a details coin, and that certainly looks to be graffiti. To each their own, people can collect what makes them happy. . I'm simply saying that I don't see the appeal in spending that much money on an obvious problematic example My AU-MS Buffalo Ni.
