I love it when a coin looks better in hand than pictures or TruView!! 1857 Small Date LC

I was expecting the worst when I purchased this coin based on the sellers pictures, a No Return policy and not so pretty TruView. The price was way below other BIN on Ebay as well. I figure if it was a dog I would consign it to GC. Arrived today and what a pleasant surprise. Super lustrous..the spot on the obverse is barely there with the naked eye...The spot on the reverse is in a non focal area and doesn't distract. This one is a keeper. Sellers pictures.

    I have learned that some TV's don't show the strike very well, as well.

    @RLSnapper... That really is a very nice cent... and certainly looks better than the TruView. You got a winner there... Cheers, RickO

    Nice looking cent in hand. Definitely not a "True View" picture this time.
