HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24956 Posts	Posted 06/18/2024 7:44 pm Perhaps surface pitting / corrosion. Hard to tell from these pics. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
mikev50 Pillar of the Community United States 1866 Posts	Posted 06/18/2024 8:18 pm took a gamble and won it for 149$--- Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/18/2024 8:27 pm Obverse shows serveral areas of ED. Not a fan at $149. Edited by Coinfrog 06/18/2024 8:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 06/18/2024 8:47 pm $149.00 seems like a very good price for any 1869 with that amount of detail left. It does have a tad amount of said minor environmental damage as coinfrog and others says above Report this Post to the Staff
DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 06/18/2024 9:07 pm Looks like some green - which is corrosion hence ED I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/18/2024 9:12 pm I'm guessing a full, bright shot of the obverse would show considerable ED. Report this Post to the Staff
Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 06/19/2024 05:37 am This one appears to be recovered from the ground, causing the corrosion, probably some time ago. Cool coin and nice semi key though. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 06/19/2024 05:53 am very nice coin, hard to see the ED from these images. Can you post up a close up of the coin?

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 06/19/2024 09:27 am I see what Coinfrog sees, but it is subtle in the shadow of the sharp detail remaining on the coin.

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 06/19/2024 10:03 am I had an 1872 Indian cent that looked similar to this once. I was certain it was going to straight grade, then came up with UNC details, environmental damage. There is lots of detail, what appears to be minimum damage and that was a good price. I want to see your pics when you get the coin! Report this Post to the Staff
