Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 6:14 pm Large letter variety, VG-10 maybe F-12 with environmental damage. If it were a large cent I'd net grade it down to VG-8 because of the porosity. Report this Post to the Staff
stampvirgin Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 6:20 pm according to PCGS values, any grade over an 8, I am in the black. I did use verdi-care on it, I think I will let it sit in acetone over night. Report this Post to the Staff

They are not realistic of what's selling in reality. Check auction results. For this coin, ebay would be a good indicator. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 6:47 pm ^ In the end, that's all that matters :) If someone told you they never overpaid for a coin, they are lying. I know I have..several times. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
