shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 8:20 pm I am new to this series and thought I would pick this coin up as it has nice details but also discoloration, which could teach me about altered surfaces or is this how the coin "off-colors". It looks like it was cleaned. Appreciate your looking and grading the coin for EAC and FMV, and if there is a price I could sell it as for fair market, what would that be, range. I purchased this for 60. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6387 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 9:14 pm Agree with VF detail. Color seems a little off for circulated old copper. However, I don't see any hairline scratches from abrasive cleaning. Decent eye appeal despite the possibly altered surfaces. Looks like the Cohen 2 variety, with ST in STATES close together. $60 sounds like a fair price. Might be difficult to get more but you could put it on ebay with your chosen minimum bid and see how it does. Report this Post to the Staff
johnjkedel Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 9:18 pm I agree with cleaned. VF sounds right. C-2 variety. Price sounds a bit high for cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 10:52 pm F+ or maybe VF-details (cleaned) in my book. The cleaning is not terrible, but the discoloration definitely gives it away. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18673 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 08:16 am reverse is closer to F but overall i'd say VF details (cleaned) the surface colors are not natural. put the coin up against a straight grade and you'll immediately see the difference.
