KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 11:28 pm I think I know the grade on this one (although I'd love to hear your thoughts) but the key question is the observe identification. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 05:14 am Yes, it's an Obv 1a. There's a small premium of that one over an Obv 2. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 09:57 am Given today's "market" grading environment, I think it claws its way into the lower end of the VF range. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 8:38 pm Thank you all for your thoughts. I had thought it was more of a F-15 but I'll defer to the wisdom of the group. Coolest part: I got it for $4 but I bought it because I thought it was obverse 1 Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 07:15 am Well, I agree with "lucky Cuss" that it's at least F-15 and chance at 20 and I've handles 10's of thousands of Vicky large cents. Report this Post to the Staff
KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 09:37 am I think I'm going to send it to ICCS, as part of a bulk lot... so I'll let you know what they say (in a couple months). Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 5:55 pm Why are you sending it to ICCS or any TPG ... it's not worth the time or money to cert it. You can pick up one of those any day at a larger coin show for $10-12 and that's what it will cost you to cert it. BTW, there were no Obv 1's for 1886, only Obv 2's and 1a's... no straight Obv 1's.

KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 7:44 pm I did end up sending it to ICCS, but only because I had a bulk batch to fill out and I thought it was worth $7 to cert it. Ended up as a VF: Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 11:23 pm And ICCS didn't even get the Obverse type correct .. it's a 1a. Report this Post to the Staff
