cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 3:27 pm I love early copper and needed to give this one a home. It worked so hard for our country in the early days as a coin and possible a screw driver. I'd appreciate your comments and grade! S-21 R3 Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 3:54 pm I am seeing an admittedly worn coin, with some light surface corrosion, and edge taps, BUT which does retain a nice overall appearance. I suspect that more detail may be hiding below surface deposits (gunk). An acetone bath may help. Grade-wise I think F12/VG8, where the reverse is, as usual, more lightly struck than the obverse.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18680 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 8:53 pm F15 details. Really close to 20 as you have srperation of the forehead and hair as well as detail in the bow. Not bad Report this Post to the Staff
zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 10:59 pm Fairly corroded which makes it hard to grade. If you want to be real technical about it I'd say F-15 Details but really it's a G-4 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 12:06 am Obverse has VF details and while the reverse are often much weaker than the obverse, the details may still be pulled down a bit by the lack of details due to the corrosion. F-15 details or thereabouts. Report this Post to the Staff
