I think that this coin will look something like this or better when it arrives as far as color and splotchiness ( is that a word? ) goes, but all the sellers coins images were poorly taken and extremely light. So I bought it and messed with the image they had for it.

My guess is it would be about VF30?

Nice detail but some wear and scratches. I'm going with VF-25.

(You're getting quite the nice collection Mr. Wheezy!)

I agree with the VF-30... If the fields were a little cleaner it would take it up quite a bit...IMO... Great Coin!!

I'm hesitant to grade a coin based on the buyer's alteration of a sellers picture, but I'd say somewhere between VF30 to EF45.

Actually, it arrived today and the coin is better in hand than my image but I was close on color. Working on pictures but I am happy.

Here's my other recent ebay purchase. I am somewhat happy with this coin but it has some very light copper on the rim and in the field. I don't know what it is but I would have rather found this in the same chocolate color the reverse is on both sides. I'll keep it but my coppers will be all bought in person from now on.

Have you ever considered shawn yancey of early copper coins? Good seller imho. Had good dealings with him before and though the ones he lists are primarily high end I'm sure he would have something lower priced if you asked.
