Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 7:17 pm I picked up this 1833 Classic Head Half Cent on ebay. It is a type coin I didn't have in my collection. The seller's photos weren't the best, but it looked like a decent coin and I won it for $71. When it arrived it was a bit on the scruffy, dirty side, so I gave it a quick Verdi-Care clean which improved it a lot. The coin's obverse is not quite as reddish as the photo shows. The reverse colors are pretty accurate. The first photo is the seller's and the other two are mine. Does it make AU? Thanks. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:04 pm I can guarantee that it's the C-1 variety. That was the only variety that year. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:31 pm I'll say AU-50, not sure if it would straight grade or not. Have to love Verdi-care! Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5669 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:43 pm Has AU sharpness, but still has some residual mild corrosion on the obverse, so I'd say AU details. Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 4:43 pm Thanks for all the comments. This coin is going in my collection as is, without submitting it for third party grading. I think it is a lovely coin and I believe it is original. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 1:14 pm AU-50 details, environmental damage. Still looks like a decent buy at $71. Report this Post to the Staff
