Thanks for the encouraging feedback guys! I made an offer of $100 for the FEC, a 38-D BU buffalo and a very beat up 1800 large cent (we're talking a G-4 coin that has multiple rim dings and is slightly bent). The clerk at the shop said he could not budge from the posted prices at all. I asked to talk to the owner, but he was out so I left my number and contact info. I would hope that he would and least respond to what I believe is a reasonable offer and hopefully make a counter offer. We'll see what happens...

The flying eagle looks like it has a bit too much wear to make it to XF in my opinion.

There is a rim dent that really isn't evident in the photo (it is by the E in UNITED). Is that inconsequential enough to not detract from the value?


Rim dings, especially when they show up easily, can cut the price of a coin in half sometimes, any TPG will not grade them without a details grade, and it is considered damaged, maybe not as much as a coin that has bad scratches or grafitti, but it is certainly something to avoid for most collectors.
