jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 7:16 pm This is my 1857 small date. I think I paid about $130 for it. What grade was it given by NGC? Edited by jerryc39 01/16/2021 7:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 7:52 pm Sounds like a great price. VF-30 or better? Any chance you can throw more light on the surfaces? These pics are kind of dark. Edited by Coinfrog 01/16/2021 7:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 8:41 pm Enlarging the pics does not help. Surface details cannot be seen on these dark images. Hair incomplete, I'll stick with VF-30. Edited by Coinfrog 01/16/2021 10:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2951 Posts	Posted 01/17/2021 6:32 pm That au 50 from me was my spot grade based on eye appeal, not to mention ive seen au's look like that on other large cents. But looking at this one a little closer now put me closer to xf-40. Still a nice grade for a key date, and yeah, id pay 130 for it pretty quick for that. Report this Post to the Staff
