Late night auction win for $13. Fills a hole. Looks to me like upper VF, maybe cleaned based on the funky color..what says CCF?  Seller pics cropped.

color looks more CuNi than bronze which is strange but could be lighting.
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."

It's a PITA when seller gives you 72 dpi photos at 400x, while apparently standing 10 feet away, but for 13 bucks, I can't expect much effort. Gambles like this usually go one of two ways: way better than the pictures, or way worse than the pictures, but never really seem to be "in the middle."

VF details all day, this color isn't right. Maybe it looks better in person.

I'm thinking you'll find it has, um, interacted with the environment on a long-term basis and been, um, "recovered" from that experience. But an 1871 for $13? I'll take 'em all for that money. |

VF-20 details, cleaned. But a '71 at $13 is a smoking deal.

Most of you ended up calling it, my in hand grade is VF35 details / light porosity, but the color is somewhat more attractive in hand, a light brown instead of orange, even a bit lustrous in certain areas such as between the shield lines, which are remarkably well struck. It's already gotten a Verdi-Care soak.   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
