robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 01/06/2011 11:51 pm I'm still new to the Large Cents. I found this at auction and am wondering what you all think of the grade & general shape of the coin (I know it's circular, but am wondering if it's been cleaned or has other issues)? thanks Report this Post to the Staff

One thing to keep in mind - cleaning followed by chemical darkening is a worry for these early coppers, and in a PCGS slab this is a $200 coin at Heritage. There are a couple patches which give me pause - especially between ONE and CENT - and I believe the color contrast between fields and devices to be a bit extreme for the dark color of the fields. With that said, it's a great planchet and I very well may be overreacting. It's what I do best. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 1:15 pm Strong VF for detail and the color in general looks good. However, I echo SuperDave's concern about the color contrast. The coin may have been wiped or treated with some chemical to lighten the color. The date in particular is conspicuously bright and I don't think it would look that way if the coin were completely original. Still, this issue might not be severe enough to keep it out of a graded TPG holder. Report this Post to the Staff
