Greckel Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 07/07/2009 8:34 pm Very nice coin! I wish I could get my hands on some of the large cents. Report this Post to the Staff
bill069 Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 07/07/2009 8:44 pm Nice coin, I'm no pro here so I'll guess it's a VG-8+. How was it graded? Report this Post to the Staff
The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 07/07/2009 8:54 pm I bought it from a guy at work from his large cent collection. This was the lowest graded (we settled on VG+)in the entire set. He had many XF's. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 07/08/2009 01:35 am It looks solid for F-12 and the surface quality looks above average for this difficult series of large cents. I'd love to see sharper and larger images but these photos suggest the coin has natural color and is free of corrosion. Maybe your co-worker would like to show off his collection on the forum? If he's looking to sell any of those XF coins he might find ready buyers here. He will need to first meet the 50-post minimum requirement, of course! Report this Post to the Staff

huntsman53 Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 07/11/2009 11:01 am I would give it an F-12! What some folks see as wear on the Obverse and Reverse rims, I see as a Weak Strike due to a tapered planchet (i.e. thinner on one side and very thick on the other side). This is apparent from the thick high rims West through North through East on the Obverse rim and West through South through East on the Reverse rim. Frank Report this Post to the Staff

clembo Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 3:46 pm I'm going with F12 as well and as noted nice surfaces. A great pick up as those Classic heads are a real bear. Report this Post to the Staff
