Hey Guys I'm sorry for the way I acted, I'm was not trying to mean I was the only one right in the discussion, I enjoy peoples feedback on coin even if it's not something they like but something I enjoy. Thanks

Matthew, it's a fine coin. The only thing that matters is that YOU like it.

I've made the same mistakes here and am glad to have you in our community. Thank you for making an effort to be a member of the family.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I understand that some collectors would avoid damaged coins. As far as I'm concerned, this means more coins for me  |

I had a low grade Large Cent whose date ended in 8. One day I decided to make a "Crazy 8s" set (1798, 1808, 1818, 1828, 1838, and 1848) without paying more than $15 for any of them (except the 1798). Mission accomplished! They may not be beautiful coins to most people, but it's MY Crazy 8 set and I like it.

I'm with Bobby. I would buy all I could at that price and make a lot of money doing it. Glad you're back Matthew.

you buy what you like and afford. these early coppers without any issues are not inexpensive and if it fits into what your goals are and the price is right in your mind then buy it.
we try to give the poster a fair assessment as to what we see and if you read through other posts you will see there are a lot of differencing opinions on the same coin. getting a consensus on a particular coin doesn't happen too often. review all the comments and look for common threads to get the best assessment and don't let any stop you from posting other ones thats how you increase your knowledge base to be able to make better assessments on your own going forward. many here have been collecting for decades and still learning. keep in mind though, when asking for opinions, not all of them you will like or agree with just walk past them
