I'm more interested in your thoughts on the reverse and the yellow flecking on the surface. Is this coin dug or corroded? Questionable color? Obviously there is a lot on the outside of the flip and the seller can't pics of the coin outside the flip. Thoughts? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 05/23/2016 11:10 pm Well, due to my schedule today I went ahead and threw the base bid on it and then went to my sons continuation. It's an ebay dealer and they have a 30 day return guarantee. Turns out I won so I guess, if anything, I'll know in hand in a few days! I'm sure it's a wood grained cent based on the obverse, I was more concerned about the yellow flecks on the reverse. I'll post out of the flip pics in a few days. Worst case scenario I return it.
