CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 6:16 pm I can't see this coming in straight grade. Probably VG details corroded. A nice variety though and a solid pick! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3628 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 6:54 pm My friend, you're going to corner the market on these critters! Just some rambling thoughts here. I'm impressed with the seller's photos. He has quite a few pics, and they accurately show the coin. I see so many awful listings, that it's nice to see a listing done the right way. I agree with @CoinHunter27, this one gets detailed. The fingerprints on the obverse suggest a cleaning. In fairness, the seller disclosed that. The ding in front of the nose is noticeable, but alone wouldn't detail this coin. The reverse made me pause. There is fairly heavy verdigris. I suspect the obverse was the same, which explains the cleaning. The cleaning likely exposed the corrosion beneath the verdigris, which is why the reverse wasn't cleaned. Just speculation here, but that seems to explain what I am seeing on this one. The technical grade looks right on VG-10 with a chance of F-12. That would be a decent swing for a straight-graded coin. The seller has this one right about half the VG-08 straight grade value, so he's priced in the details grade. He doesn't have a make an offer option. The big question is whether there is enough upside to a VG-10 details or F-12 details to make it worthwhile. IMHO, if you snag this and want to slab it, use ANACS. They would give the underlying numerical grade, and if it is 10/12, you might have enough leverage to make some money. Tough call on this one. I sure wish he was willing to receive offers. If you could snag it in the $40s, there might be enough cushion to make it work. At list price? Shrug Not a lot at stake for a gamble, but it's not for sure either. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 7:21 pm I see no upside here unless you want to own a dodgy coin that still might detail even after modest ANACS fees. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3154 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 8:02 pm fort collins I did get the coin for $47 so $50 shipped. It wasn't the prettiest but had some meat on the bone so I thought I might be able to resell it for a few bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3628 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 8:15 pm You worked some magic to get it in that range. There's some upside on it at that price. You must have an overdate magnet or an eagle eye to spot them. I enjoy the grading challenge on these. I agree, they don't seem to pop up outside the VG realm. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 1:07 pm VG10 very well could come back as F12. I think it grades straight Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36606 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 09:17 am I think the reverse will hold this to VG-10 details. Report this Post to the Staff
