Promise there won't be 5 of these a day. I already bought this coin knowing that it's likely cleaned or something. I saw one that looked similar in a Details holder marked 'Environmental Damage'. Fire Damage? As long as it's authentic, I'll just keep it forever. Just want to own something this old. Is this altered in some way? I didn't pay much for it.   |

I'm at F12-F15 Details (Corrosion or ED). I think most of the LC's would grade details for one reason or another. These were the 1¢ coin of the day, and they were disliked because of their size. I don't think they were treated much better then we treat zincoln today.
I love them, and am 1 coin away from a complete set. Yours is a nice honest coin, and they have such a cool feel in hand. Enjoy it!

It doesn't matter to me though, just can't wait to get this in hand. I'm starting to figure out which coins appeal and this is definitely one. Thanks for the responses. |

I should add that I'm one coin away (1857) from 1797 through 1857, not including the 1804 (can't afford that!).

color of pics are not very good at evaluating the surfaces. May or may not be a details coin.

VF-20 and I think all the issues are due to the strike.
