sh521932 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 11/15/2021 5:12 pm Hello! I just got this beauty in the mail. It looks corroded but checking on grading... any ideas? Tooling on the front? Width: 29.0mm Weight: 10.66g Worth getting graded? Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 11/15/2021 5:18 pm This coin has a lot of problems. It's been corroded and cleaned. The obverse stars and potentially "Liberty" have been re-engraved and there looks to be evidence of smoothing in the fields. Details wise it's hard to evaluate, based off the reverse it looks to have the details of a VF coin but I suspect you would get an F Details grade from a TPG. Hard to put a value on it but if you paid $150 or less it might be worth doing. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 11/16/2021 11:26 am I concur with VF details. That said, I view this as a very pleasing coin, regardless. Tuff date in better grades, too! If the price was right, it's a great acquisition. BTW .... to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
sh521932 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 3:52 pm Thank you all, for your comments. I'm ashamed to say that I over paid for this coin at auction ($900 + 20%). I, too, thought it was VF and saw the tooling/corroded, but missed the other problems at the time. But it fits nicely into my Large Cent Dansco! Report this Post to the Staff
