The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 06/06/2022 12:46 pm Hey all, Spotted this 1936 Bridgeport on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203978196038 Looks like it might have had a light cleaning, but it looks to be at least slightly circulated. Per Nickelsearcher, Not Mint to Be, and Worn Out's excellent posting over the years, I've learned that this is a rather difficult coin to find in a circulated state. I'm not interested in it, but I thought I'd post the link in case anyone else might be. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95758 Posts	Posted 06/06/2022 6:00 pm I agree - it is very circulated. The reverse shows it the worst... Collecting since 1972.

captaincoffee Pillar of the Community United States 600 Posts	Posted 06/06/2022 9:11 pm I agree it is attractive for the grade, but I don't think it is attractive for the price. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15420 Posts	Posted 06/07/2022 05:51 am Authentic and well circulated example of a tough to find coin in this state. Concur with commems that the coin likely has a technical grade in the VF range. Surface originality is tough to judge based on the photos provided. It would be a welcome addition to your growing circulated set - I'm not going to pursue it so best of wishes if you do.
