srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3366 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:39 pm The backstory on this is my dad and I used to attend coin shows together for quite a few years. Unfortunately he passed away in 2020 and I inherited his collection. After I suffered multiple heart attacks between 2020 and 2025 I am finally going through his collection. I just pulled out one of the coins he purchased at one of the shows and was proud of. Your thoughts on a grade are appreciated as this coin will not leave my possession as it's just one of many that will remind me of our time hunting our prizes at these shows. Thanks for looking.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18782 Posts	Posted Today 5H 36M ago the planchets used for these early draped busts were shipped across the Atlantic in wooden barrels. the salt air and humidity was not kind to a good amount of them. strike was always a problem and some of what you see here is related to that. there is a small hit by the ear that has displaced metal along with some rim hits on both sides along with corrosion on both sides. the hair has some decent detail in it as well as ONE CENTS and many of the leaves. I think your dads coin would grade VG (details) corroded/ PMD Report this Post to the Staff
