paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 7:10 pm The early coppers are coming in and here's one I've been wanting to upgrade for awhile (especially after my 1798 or 1799 scare last week)! Let's see what you come up with for grade as compared to our fourth "recognized" TPG - ICG. Paleoguy Report this Post to the Staff

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 7:40 pm Ill say its actually VG, but ICG may have given it a F grade. They usually aren't too far off on circulated coins. I should say though, I'm terrible at grading early Coppers. Edited by Namachieli 10/06/2011 7:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 9:01 pm Just an additional bit of info.. ICG like ANACS assigns a numerical grade to coins with details... Guess accordingly.. And pay attention to the hair.. Edited by paleoguy45 10/06/2011 9:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 01:33 am Solid XF-40 details. I have seen coins with this level of detail graded XF-40, even XF-45 consistently. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 6:07 pm Probably stole this coin for a cheap price given how people dont trust ICG slabs...especially with corroded labels. Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 6:40 pm Well Shadow, didn't exactly steal it... Paid a bit under $300 with my 1798 thrown in. The 98 was probably worth $100 give or take... I'm good with it... PG Report this Post to the Staff
hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 6:50 pm Early coppers are tough to grade. I know the coin doesn't look spectacular, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was graded a VF-30, hell, maybe even XF-40. Edit... ooops, didn't realize the answer was already in the thread, well at least I was correct (half-way). Calling it corroded is kinda mean. How many coppers of this era have less "corrosion"...are we gonna call 95% of early large cents corroded now. Edited by hesgut 10/07/2011 6:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
