Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 02:31 am Opinions on grade? "Value"? Thanks! Oh, and I think it is "reverse of '97 with stems", is that right? Edited by Bababooey 08/14/2014 02:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

chasingtailbar Pillar of the Community 968 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 02:38 am Obverse 3, reverse 2... toughie, but I'll say 2. Value? I have no idea. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 05:15 am Probably AG-03. A decent example for a 7070 set. Report this Post to the Staff
jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 07:20 am AG-03, an old obverse gouge, surfaces are a bit granular but a nice color. Worth approximately $100. Personally, I would look for a slightly nicer example and spend a bit more (closer to $150). Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 08:38 am I would grade this Ag03, with the obverse compensating for reverse weakness. Not able to attribute the variety as my books are not now with me. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 09:03 am S-126. You can tell by the two die breaks in the right obverse field. http://www.largecents.net/collectio...ics/s126.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18725 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 7:16 pm I'm a little higher. Obverse G4. You have remaining dentils a solid eye and mouth and full date. Reverse AG3. However some of the wear could be from a weak strike. Overall I'll net this at G4. Most likely details due to the obverse hit at 10 o'clock Report this Post to the Staff
Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 7:13 pm It was sold to me as "good''. It was a bit of an impulse purchase, so I didn't check photograde first. I agree with the above comments about maybe waiting for a better example at say $150. I paid a little under $90. Thanks for the type (s-126). Do I have it right that it is with stems and the reverse of 1797? The grey sheet has it at $55 in AG and $110 in good, but numismedia has it at like $200-300 in good, why the dramatic variation? It did notice that anything graded, problem free, seems to be $300-$500 up even in good for draped bust cents in the 1700s.. I might want to try for a 1796, any advice? Report this Post to the Staff
