Every now and then I take a gamble on bad seller photos on ebay. This was one I took this week. I think I did really well at $135 bucks. This is one of the last remaining coins I need for my 7070. Down to just 5 coins now!   |

Here are a few of the sellers photos. Seller has a few more type coins listed with pretty bad photos.   Edited by RedRaider

I hate those kinds of gambles myself, but you certainly scored with that Half Cent, and a good date, too. What 5 type are you still after? |

I'm still after a draped large cent, a few of the dimes, one of the Seated quarters and a "with motto" Seated dollar. They certainly are getting expensive in the grades I'm going for. |

I definetly would have snagged that for $135. Nice Pickup and GL on your 7070!

Very nice coin!
Just trying to learn. The coin's obverse seems so sharply struck. Which makes me wonder why there is so little, almost no detail in the denticles like you see in the reverse. What do you think caused this to happen?
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

You got a fantastic coin for a fantastic price. I love it when such ebay gambles pay off. I found the seller. Not much else in the way of early type coins. Edited by TypeCoin971793
