Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 6:22 pm Impulse buy as no pawn shops had any mercs worth buying. First and probably only Large Cent (famous last words?). Pretty sure I know where this falls using photograding, but wanted feedback. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 7:36 pm O.K. it took me awhile to attribute this thing because it's an F-15. Higher grades are easier to attribute. I've got it pegged at an F-15 N-3 die variety. The fact that the 1, the 8 and the 4 all touch is diagnostic. Be careful Shale copper gets in your bloodstream and before you know it you'll be prowling for large cents too. Report this Post to the Staff

Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 7:47 pm I will admit I was thrown off by what the photograde told me... this is my first experience with Large Cents in person, and it was surprisingly detailed (to me) for the grade. I mean... at VF grade compared to a Mercury dime, it is very pleasing to look at! Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 10:52 pm Yeah, it would slab 15. If mine I would call it a 10....nice example....only 13 left for a Braided Hair date set! Report this Post to the Staff
Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 11:21 pm Ok, so I don't have a RedBook and 15 doesn't fall on any of the sites I use. What would be a fair price to pay for this? So I can figure out how much my impulse buy cost me :). I'm still looking at it impressed at how deep the major designs on these are. Making me think about a date set in this range now :P Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 11:31 pm I'd say $15-$20 is a fair price. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 06:38 am $20 or there about, maybe $25. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3157 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 08:08 am agree with F-15 and around 20 to 25 dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
