jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3160 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 12:50 pm I am pretty sure the seller was thrilled with this price! I looked at the Grellman book to see if was an ultra rare die type and think its only an R2 coin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1848-Braide...ht_819wt_644 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 1:18 pm Yeah, the seller should be happy with that. It's not outlandish, though - I'm calling it "has a decent shot at AU50" and aside the neck gouge it's a nice clean coin with good eye appeal. I wouldn't have gone for it at the price but it's not a calamity for the buyer either. Report this Post to the Staff
cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 1:19 pm I agree with Jerryc, but maybe I'm missing something. There are 46 varieties that year and some very rare ones but this looks like an N-2 variety R1+. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 2:37 pm I think it's just a case where someone wanted a truly nicer grade without moving into the mint state prices. Which could go into the $300-400 range. Odds are the buyer doesn't even know or care about the Newcomb variety. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3160 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 3:09 pm it is a nice looking coin except that neck scratch. Looks xf 45 or maybe au50 at best to me. No way I would go that high on it unless it was an r4 or 5 coin. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 4:08 pm Probably a collector doing a color set, that seems to be the new rage in late date coppers now. Get a complete set with all matching color. This one does look really original! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
