Five4fighting Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 02:22 am Ok just was wondering what everyone thinks of this coin? I was tempted, mostly because it is a 1794 Large Cent, but it has three decent size scratches on the face, and reverse some moron carved "JR" on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/1794-Large-Cent...ev_W0QQitemZ 330316579074QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item330316579074&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:3%7C65:1%7C39:1%7C240:1318 Report this Post to the Staff

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 08:26 am I don't like coins that are that damaged. I'd rather spend the extra money for something better. I do, however, wonder how long ago JR committed his sacrilege. Report this Post to the Staff

That was John Revere, Paul's lesser-known 2nd cousin (see, I have the ebay huckster schtick down pat) You have to ask yourself the question "how much damage can I tolerate on a coin without growing to hate it over time?"

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 1:16 pm I'd hold off. The damage is excessive and I wonder how often you'd look at this coin and wish for a better example. Save your money and wait for a better coin. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Five4fighting Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 9:24 pm Right, I really hate it when people do crap like that to coins :( Or punching holes in them or whatever. I didn't make the bid on it as had to much gouges in it :( If it was only on one side I might get it and just have the good side showing lol. Report this Post to the Staff
