nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/18/2007 6:52 pm Here is todays haul for a local coin show. All bought raw Have fun playing with grades and be sure to check for Varieties. I would also be interested in any prices you might want to assign to the coins. I am just curious I paid what I consider to be a fair price but some of the dealers seemed to think I was taking food out of their kids mouths. Sorry about the cotton thread I could not see it until after I took the Pics. http://www.mycoins.us/USA/2Cent/2Cent.htm Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/18/2007 8:48 pm Nice try Tpatna you missed a few things and made two big Grade mistakes but as you say you are still new to this series. The 68 is corroded Hence the red colour. I will wait and see if anyone else wants to play before I add my comments on each coin. Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/19/2007 9:06 pm Some helpful hints the 1864 check the width of the rim and the denticals as they go around. Check the date against the one you have. The 1866 is probably going to NCS to try and remove a the tiny corrosion spot on the OBV and the dark areas caused buy someones thumb Report this Post to the Staff
