So here is another fantastic coin--with sharp XF 45 details smooth nice color. I chose this as a keeper because of the incredible details in the hair*. Sheldon 9 and its got some rim bruises-more on rev but I'm not paying $32k. How about a bit over $5K. I think this coins fantastic. Had to show it off

Yes as the coin has a deep relief. Non porous and looks fresh and sharp. It would be really testing to find a comparable nother. Most %95 of em have bigger problems of sorts.

Nice coin, good surfaces and sharp details. Interesting how the the rim bruises are mostly evident on the reverse.

Germanics---- These coins are fat and heavy-- This one must have been dropped from a high part of a cliff long ago or ect. Coins get dinged in the most crazy ways--blame gravity". all I know is that if this coin did not have the dings --how many pennies would buy a perfect one without the rim dents ?

732amran, you've done yourself proud. A great addition to your collection and a great investment. Have you had it scoped with an XRF? Get that puppy a pedigree, one that is more important than a TPG opinion. You rock!  |

Here's a question for the troops. Could this have been struck on a defective planchet rather the PMD? |

a couple areas stand out as strange. one on the obverse would be at 3 o'clock at the rim. there seems to be build up of material near the rim without a rim hit. the same thing at 6 o'clock. the rim is not indented but there is a buildup of material under the 1 in the date. on the reverse between STATES and OF the same thing is occurring. I'm just trying to figure something out about how this occurred and whether it was there before striking. I'm having a hard time believing that someone beat this with hammer or slammed it on the ground multiple times to get this affect without destroying a lot of the higher setting devices across the faces of the coin. a pic of the rims from a side view may provide more information.

O but it is indented---. I did put the rev coin manually in this one shot. I have a few other large cents with big rim damage --the nature of the dents are natural looking to me. When a dent on impact with the ground--these heavy coins don't bend--they concave or form a lump --copper is soft. In person its almost not noticeable.
