What do you all think of this one. Considering making an offer. Seller's pics are all I've got. Thanks,   |

He's not even offering straight-on shots?

Perhaps mid-AU, but I wouldn't go high based on these amateur pics.

Yeah, he's proud of it. Not seen a 7/7 before and I'm looking for a 1907. Mulling it over. Probably pass, he thinks it's worth a lot more than it is.

Run, don't walk
AU details, possibly cleaned
Also has corrosion/pitting at O in ONE CENT, and there is something funky going on in the left obverse field across from the nose and lips.

 w/paralyse. the angle and lighting, to me, makes it look like the seller is attempting to hide the surfaces |

Hard pass
Don't be a sucker for coins, educate yourself first.
The 7/7 are pretty common, nothing special here at all.

I hear you. 1907 is back on my list (sold the two I had), so I'm looking at a lot of them. One of the reasons I'm here is to get advice from collectors with far more knowledge and experience than I have.

I get it. We care about our fellow collectors, that's why it's tough love around here mostly, otherwise I wouldn't say anything.  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
