this one looked like a decent one for 14.50. VF 30 or so? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1853-LARGE-...refresh=true

I'm new to this but I think it is more of a VF 20-25. Leaning toward 25.

1853 N-11 in my opinion which is an R.2. As far as grade I'll go EAC F-15. The bust curls have worn into the bust holding it back from 20. The coin appears to have some PVC reactivity and could use an acetone soak to get rid of the green. Other than that the surfaces look real good.
1853 N-11 R.2 15/15.

I would agree with vf 20-25.

Looks a little red on one side. I wonder if that could be mint red?

The verdigris would bug me though.

a little acetone and verdicare should get rid of most of green stuff. Going to flip the coin anyway.

Yep. I've been trying to wade through all the emoticons and like buttons at cointalk for the past week. I saw Jerry over there. Haha...

Hard for me to grade these middle grades, but VF30 isn't too far off. I'll say VF25 just to be difficult.
