VF details but I like it better than an fr/ag example without minor porosity.

As porous coins go, this one is reasonably attractive to my eye. Somewhere between F and VF details corrosion.

My grade is F15 detail, but dark and granular or lightly corroded surfaces.

After 212 years, it looks a lot less porous that I do in less than a third of that time.

It looks on the bubble between F-15 and VF-20 details. Pretty decent strike, and decent eye appeal. I like it.

I'm closer to GERMANICVS and GrapeCollects than I am to PCGS on this one. Still a nice old copper. More detail on the reverse than seen on many due to the sunken die (I presume)? This example is quite nice in that regards, Panzaldi would you say it's a medium die state?

I'm not an expert on early copper die states, however, there is absolutely no sign of the first star on this one so my thought is that its a late state die.

this is one of my favorite early coppers in my collection.
