That half still looks amazing. Great coin.

The photo of the US Large Cent I posted of the reverse, wasn't as bad as I thought according to the Frisco Mint, who was selling it. The said it did have some verdigris and several tiny bits of corrosion, but that PCGS would never have slabbed the coin if it was any concern. I ended up purchasing what I always have considered a coin with problems. As I have a very limited budget, this coin, at PCGS EF45 is a good fit to my collection. On top of that, it has a nice pedigree, an ex -Walter Dudgeon, and to boot, is a rarity 6- coin according to the Grellman census.

Guess you have to be fairly happy when you get to pick up a coin like this that fits your budget. I guess that without the green ick on it, that coin would cost at least twice what I paid for it.

Silver half looks like grease or dirt. Large cent has light verdigris and grease which looks like it will come off with some verdicare. I would love to have that half as she's a beauty!
