brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 9:24 pm I just got this today. I had always wanted a little fish scale Three Cent piece. I think I got a good price, but I also think the obverse has been clean and maybe even the reverse. Here are some pics, I am sorry the ones without flash are blurry. First two pictures are with flash and the second two are without flash. What is your all opinion on grade and value? Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/08/2012 12:39 am Nice trime! I am looking at photograde on my ipad to aid me because I do not have a lot of practice with the Three Cents. I would say the VF20 looks closest to your details. Looks cleaned. You can look up prices on http://www.numismedia.com. A VF 20 would value at $56.00. I think that with the cleaning and scratches the price would value at about half that IMHO.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 01/08/2012 01:14 am I have seen too many of these with holes in them, which unfortunately reduces them to junk. At least, this one is far better than that. Report this Post to the Staff
