Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 06/25/2016 4:31 pm I saw this and figured it'd be a good replacement for my type set. I see it as an xf/AU coin. I am no expert on copper. Buddy is asking $75 for it. What do you all think? Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 06/25/2016 5:40 pm Maybe it's my photos but this coin still has trace hints of luster especially the reverse. I may retake the photos. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18836 Posts	Posted 06/25/2016 7:37 pm CCF members in general under grade early coppers. not sure why but thats my experience being on this site for several years. I have this one at VF35 but I tend to be a little more lenient on them Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 06/25/2016 8:10 pm Looks like this coin also has had an old cleaning... Notice the halo effect around the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 06/25/2016 11:42 pm I'm gonna post better pics if I can tomorrow. It's gonna be tough cause I'm gonna be in the Bronx all day tomorrow at a Yankees game. I feel my pictures truly don't show the potential of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/26/2016 02:12 am I'd pass, personally. It's a possibly cleaned/retoned VF coin, and better examples can be found for the price. The stars are sharply struck up, meaning that the weakness of details on the bust is likely to be a wear indicator and not a strike indicator. I do not think CCF undergrades early copper nearly as much as the market overgrades early copper.
