Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 01:07 am I'd go strong VF on it, doesn't quite make EF but it wouldn't be too much of a stretch. Beautiful coin! Are the white specks on the coin or on the flip? Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 01:31 am Thanks, Just checked the white specs that are appearing in the photos are on the 2 X 2. This was one of my first large cents that I purchased when I was in my early teens. I bought this one and two others at an auction, if I remember correctly I paid $30 for the group.

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/23/2012 7:59 pm I said to myself "VF-35" when I first saw the coin. Then I saw everyone else's responses. I didn't think I could grade Large cents well; guess there might be hope for me yet! Report this Post to the Staff
