Another vote for MS64BN. Very attractive, with what looks like strong luster which is not that common on uncirculated large cents.  |

And the results. The holder made it affordable.  However, I had to pay a premium over MS-62 money ro get her.  I got this coin through Chris McCawley, who believed that the various hits that numismatic_student pointed out were the reason why it did not grade higher. Nevertheless, I am happy with my purchase as I think I maximized the quality-to-price ratio for the type. These images are truer to the actual color of the coin. It looks more like toned silver than copper.   |

CVM knows his early copper. I love that coin. It's as good as some of the Twin Leaf coins that Chris had, in their ability to make me stop and stare and drool like an idiot.

Congrats. Looks like you scooped it for a good price. 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 is not that often that a TPGrader comes in lower than what I may think. That is a good thing in this case, because there is always pressure for a TPGrader to be optimistic - customers are encouraged by higher grades. A generous result attracts more customers. The OP can now rest assured that this coin had been graded honestly. It may well be to his profit that a hard copy of this thread is kept with the coin.  |

NGC is technically tough on these. Could easily grade higher from PCGS. I'd leave it alone though. Very nice!
