NJcoppers Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 09/16/2020 8:45 pm Thank you for the inputs. It is graded AU details by PCGS. Besides the plow pitting, I also think it looks very attractive. Edited by NJcoppers 09/16/2020 8:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18700 Posts	Posted 09/17/2020 09:04 am corroded planchet. this is more than just porosity. these early copper planchets were not really stored and transported with too much care. you can see this with many early large cent planchets which were transported in wooden kegs and subjected to the salt air crossing the atlantic. I'm not into these but assuming that these may have had the same fate. in any case this is a cool coin and nicely struck Report this Post to the Staff
