Don't know much about them, kind of an impulse buy. Any help on grade or attribution is much appreciated.

I will check the attribution when I get home. Buying a coin from someone with zero feedback is a gutsy proposition.

I just won a coin as well.

This would be the exception.

I've dealt with The Reeded Edge multiple times through the years, and their customer service is great.. most purchases have gone through without a hitch but it's when things go wrong that you see a seller's nature, and they come through with flying colors.
Their shop is up in Cumberland, Maryland, if anyone is in the area. They also attend a great many shows.

They are now on ebay under the name "trecoins" so even though they currently have 0 feedback, they are worth looking into.

Thanks, yeah I saw the scratch, and considered getting out the brown Sharpie . Will probably go right into my 7070.

The Reeded Edge is a "good guy" coin dealer IMO. Don't have my Half Cent book at hand, but I think that is a fair price for the coin, the scratch is very minimal and not at all too distracting to me.

Yeah it looks like a C-6. Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. As far as a grade I'll say EAC 7 sharpness net graded to EAC 6 for the scratch.
1809 C-6 R.1 7/6-
