jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3162 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 1:18 pm I have been looking for a decent example of one of these at a good price. This one cost more than my usual outlay for large cents. Paid $60 for it. Looks high VF to maybe low XF to me. What do you think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1855-knob-o...047675.l2557 Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3162 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 6:45 pm thanks for all the grading opinions and nice comments! After looking at some slabbed XF40 coins I think it just might make XF. Huge price difference between VF and XF on Numismedia. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismedia retail for VF35 is $144, XF40 is $192. If you look at Heritage archives the last PCGS VF35 sold for $141 and PCGS XF40 for $161. Report this Post to the Staff
