hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 07/24/2007 4:32 pm G-4. Too much of Liberty is missing to even consider VG-8, but a very nice coin, none-the-less. Don't you just love giving these large cents a new home?!? I don't have a good photo to work from for the 1844 over 81 overdate, but the one I have looks a bit like your coin. That mark off the top of the first 4 looks less pronounced than on the photo I have, but definitely similar to what one would see on the overdate. BTW, very nice photos.

Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 07/24/2007 6:47 pm I'd say good, but I don't think it's just an average 1844 cent. I think hunter is closer to what it is but I don't know much about large cents. Report this Post to the Staff

50cents Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 07/24/2007 11:42 pm I picked it up for a $1 at a local B&M. If I can remove the green spot I will be happy. Report this Post to the Staff

smallchanges New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/25/2007 12:36 pm Suggestion for removing green spots on copper coins: Goo Gone with a Q-Tip. I have found that if the green stuff has not taken hold too deeply, you can soak coins in Goo Gone, then swab it GENTLY with a Q-Tip. I was advised to try mineral oil / baby oil as well, but Goo Gone works nicely in most cases, and does not discolor coins at all. I've also used this to remove PVC damage on proof coins, and have used it on nickel, copper and silver coins with success in all cases. BTW, very nice buy for a buck. Congratulations!
