I recently purchased my first large cent from a very helpful and fair dealer that thankfully lives near me. I paid $20 and am wondering what you guys' opinions on condition would be. I am thinking around VF25-30 based on PCGS Photograde. Let me know if you need better pictures, and thanks!

to the CCF!


I believe it's in the VF-25 range as well, but don't take my word for it as I'm not a very experienced grader (I do most of my work in the varieties field). I can tell you though that you did pretty good at $20. Nice pickup!

That's a decent price for the coin.

I'm with the VF-30 camp.
