I just picked this up on Ebay. Made an offer to the seller and the offer was accepted. I paid up and the order shipped....all in less than 5 minutes. That's my kind of customer service!
The coin is a nice PCGS AU55....no distracting hits or marks in an older holder. Would have a good shot at CAC I think. Let me know what you think!

    I like it and would be happy owning it but I don't think it'll sticker. CAC is extraordinarily tough on early copper and I see some potential corrosion, particularly on the reverse, which I think will hold it back.

    I like it for what it is, and it appears solid and original for the grade, but no idea what CAC thinks.
    The only CAC large cent I have is a very glossy (i.e. probably not original) AU.

    Nice old copper... Looks like it would get a CAC sticker to me... Cheers, RickO

    IMO, I dont think that is corrosion. Just dirt/grime.
