Just Picked this up for my 7070. I think it'll fit in quite nicely. I like the color (probably cleaned a long time ago) and the strike is sharp. The photos are the sellers, I'll post more when it's in hand. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The seller graded this VF-20   |

I'll say VF-25 as well. Attractive example.

When you post your pics,please make sure to take it out of the 2x2 first. I'm sure you were going to anyways,but just in case you didn't think of it. John1  |

My pleasure, GMS5. This tool enhances the beauty of your 1856, methinks.
One word of advice .... It helps to closely crop your original, pic prior to using this tool. It takes a bit of practice.

Yep, my first thought was 20 is a bit low. VF25 for sure. Nice pick up!

That said, many of these 1856 pattern pieces eventually found their way into circulation. I've personally seen at least a half dozen of them at shows. I saw a slabbed one in fine condition at the recent Chattanooga show. That was likely on my mind. |
