f details stained
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."

Agree Fine, apparent stains may be grunge that will come off. Not for me.  |

I actually think that was a decent buy. Pure acetone soak - nothing else. Old copper is finicky.

I would go for it.  Check it out if and when you get it. I always do due diligence with any coin I may, or may be considering to buy. Due diligence best done before purchase, but that is not always possible, especially with ebay. Check for weight, diameter and visual comparison with similar examples you may find on Google Images. Not worth slabbing; not enough potential value to justify shipping and fees. |

For $10 and change, why not? I know this guy who has stuck $10 many times in a slot machines, which is a much worse gamble IMO. Look at all the coins I could have purchased. Sorry, I mean this guy I know.  |

9-12 dollar coin to me. Not bad if it comes out an acetone soak better then definite score.
