RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 2:41 pm I bought this large cent for what I thought to be a steal of a price: $12.50. Opinions? Edited by RoyCoinBoy 06/14/2018 2:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 2:48 pm The corrosion at 3 o'clock probably pitted the surface which would render it as a details coin. However, it appears to have survived as a Fine condition with that exception. In all it was a fair price. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/14/2018 3:28 pm OK but that spot is disturbing, looks like verdigris(bronze disease) not fully removed which will eventually trash that coin. Don't think I would have paid by $8 for it. Report this Post to the Staff
