I saw what I thought was a pretty decent deal on some 3 cent coins so I jumped on them for my type set. I'll crop and post the seller's pictures and I'd love to hear what you grade them. Thanks! I know these aren't the best of pictures but I'm just looking for a rough grade. These photos are even tougher, but besides the toning you can see it still has some pretty decent details. Any comments on the black streak? Also, I paid $25 total including shipping. Did I do well or make a mistake? I'm happy with the price/coins regardless, but its nice to know what the community thinks. Thanks for your time. Report this Post to the Staff

wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 2:12 pm Nice coins! From these pics I grade F-12 for the 3CN. Nice little die break @ 2:00 on the reverse. As for the 3CS, I'm conflicted on the toning. It's not the prettiest in my opinion,but then again I've seen lots of weirdly toned examples of this type. I'll give it a VF-25. The value is over $50, so you got an excellent deal regardless! Glad to hear the type set is coming along, Duncan! Report this Post to the Staff
Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 5:29 pm Fine details on the 1881. It looks like it has been dipped too often Very Fine -20 on the 1852 At $25 for the pair you are not getting hurt. The last show I was at I saw common date CN were going in for $15 for Good to Very Good, they were in a big pile on the dealers table. So if this price is right you paid $10 for the 1852. How far wrong can you go? Report this Post to the Staff

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 6:01 pm As far as the black streak goes, coins was probably in a 2x2 and was at the end of a stack that someone put a rubber band around. I'm seen similar ones to that before. What ever gas the rubber band gives off is bad. Report this Post to the Staff
duncanbishop24 Pillar of the Community United States 898 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 01:11 am Are the reverse details on the 1881 F-12? They seem more VF/XF but the Obverse is unfortunately a F-12. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 02:32 am These small things are quite often holed, and as such, are close to having no numismatic value. Price is OK for these. Report this Post to the Staff
