I am thinking about getting this one. What are your thoughts and what would you pay?   |

I would grade EF45 details, net VF20 to F15, so a potential purchaser should price accordingly for the variety (small date).
Assuming it is not an N-14, I would price at approx. $100-$150.
This coin is unfortunately not very appealing - with spots of (probably hard) encrusted corrosion. Difficult to say if the color is original.

EF-AU sharpness, but the corrosion spots are a real shame. You would do well to seek out a copper specialist (not me) to arrest that corrosion which appears to still be active. I don't know if NCS or PCGS do that kind of work. If you are near the Charlotte, NC area in early April the EAC convention is going to be held there.

Technical grade EF-40. Market grade XF details, environmental damage. The corrosion spots will leave surface damage, even if acetone reduces severity.
It's one I'd pass on unless it was "dirt" cheap - $60-70.
But in actuality I still wouldn't buy it myself.

I can get it for $80, and I believe it is an N-4.
Since I was questioning this one to begin with, it may be best to pass.

It looks like there was a spot of corrosion that chipped away there, perhaps

For the right price, sure, but like was mentioned it has a couple of issues. Verdicare might help.

EF45 maybe AU. I think verdicare may fix this one

I didn't win this one. Sold for $100, which was more than I was comfortable paying.

EF-45 at least, agree with the Verdi-Care suggestion.
