Purchased raw from another large cent collector, we went round and round about grading and attributes, but in the end I brought him home. Think it will achieve at least "Good"? Nothing more sad than an AG slabbed coin. Sad part is it will be going in my registry set so there goes the neighborhood for my average. Maybe someday I can bump him up. Honest opinions. I have searched for a while to find this guy. Hate to throw him back into the market. Report this Post to the Staff

Man!, I was hoping for G, I knew I was being biased so I had to put it to the panel. I got a great deal on it and cant complain as it looks great in hand and I am still very happy with it. Been seraching for it for a while now. Report this Post to the Staff
RFB Pillar of the Community United States 532 Posts	Posted 08/27/2009 10:44 pm Odd thing..Wife asked to see the coin again before heading out the door a few minutes ago. Referred to it as the "ugly one that you were so exited about last week" Just out of the blue she wanted to see it again, seems it has been bugging her since I showed it to her. Like some light bulb in her head went off. That it was REAL money, that people actually used these coins 200 years ago. She was so cute. She inspected it with such scrutiny. Even went so far as to ask for a book to compare against from the shelf. The large date vs the small date and she actually saw the difference once I showed her what to look for. She has seen me compare and ID large cents for years and never really could care less. Then this one seems to have caught her interest. Edited by RFB 08/30/2009 10:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
