You guys asked for better pictures, since the sellers pics sucked! It's definitely authentic, I am very happy on the purchase. $96 for a problem free, what I would call at least an AG-03 borderline a G-04.   |

Sorry for the lighting. A bit too much light on the coin. Those dots on the reverse is not environmental damage. Hardly noticeable in person. Probably should have dimmed the lighting a bit more.

Buying that coin was a very risky decision. I'm glad it worked out for you!  |

It was a big purchase for me, but I finally did it! I am absolutely stoked. I've had the flu for the past several days and when it came in the mail today, I struggled getting downstairs (since I'm drained of energy and really weak and tired) and asked my Dad if he could go grab the mail since I heard it come. He hid the package from me when he brought it inside, haha! My face turned upside down. Still feeling quite bad, today and tomorrow are my last days of school until thanksgiving break so maybe if I have enough energy I could try tomorrow but I'm honestly wiped.

Pics were taken with my iPhone 5s (zoomed in) in a dark room with a lamp from the early 80's my Dad has had since his college days, LOL.

I like a coin with a bit of history on it. |

So do I, Buddy! A nice, key date Wheat cent that has made it's way into my hands. 101 years old, probably circulated up until the 40's or the 50's. I'm sure this was mixed in with a bunch of wheat cents at one time. The coin had a lot of surface dirt upon arrival. |

It's an attractive coin.
Edit: This is an example of something I can never understand, that is, why would a seller obviously reduce the prospects of getting a higher price by not using a better picture?
