BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 5:47 pm I agree with VG+ with the reverse being stronger at F12. I would have paid $30 or so. It's a nice coin. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 7:51 pm Well, got the coin in the mail today and this is the reason I hate ebay. It has been cleaned. Not just cleaned, but polished. And no, I didn't get a smoking hot deal. I paid FMV for an original coin..... $40. Should I send it back? Report this Post to the Staff

If it was original $40 would have been a fair price according to Numismedia. The photos don't look too bad but I guess this is a lesson that you really can't tell until you see it in hand.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 10/08/2013 12:38 am The coin looks cleaned in the images but it doesn't appear harshly cleaned. Light cleanings on 200 year old coins are market acceptable and that's what it seemed to be. Why do you think it was polished? In-hand evaluation is what counts and if you don't like it? ebay has made returns a snap. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 10/08/2013 11:03 am BH1964, I agree with what you said. I'm just whining because the coins I buy over ebay rarely look as good in person as their photos. This coin has definitely been harshly cleaned and would warrant a details grade from a TPG. In person at a coin show, I would have passed on it. I'll try to post some pics more representative of the coin when I get a chance. For $40, I'll just keep it. Problem free F-12's are going for $150-200. Mine is about VG-8+. Report this Post to the Staff
