Russ · September 30, 2002 7:26AM

Seller listed this as VF30. What do you guys think?

Russ, NCNE

KlectorKid · September 30, 2002 7:29AM

i agree with the seller a solid VF

ill say SU-0 SU = slug

Placid · September 30, 2002 7:29AM

VF=very funky

Cam40 · September 30, 2002 7:29AM

If it graded PO01,it would be overgraded IMO.

BillJones · September 30, 2002 7:30AM

It must be VF around the hole. I don't see much wear there.

KlectorKid · September 30, 2002 7:31AM

yes i will grade the space inside the hole vf

Russ · September 30, 2002 7:32AM

So, you guys are saying he overgraded it, and I got screwed? Well, that's what I get for buying without a scan.

KlectorKid · September 30, 2002 7:38AM

maybe it is VF but it was struck through a pillow.

Placid · September 30, 2002 7:42AM

I can't even tell what side is the obverse

09sVDB · September 30, 2002 7:44AM

Where's Braddick!

KlectorKid · September 30, 2002 7:48AM

09Svdb Braddick focuses on low grade problem free coins not disks of metal with holes in them

Russ · September 30, 2002 7:50AM

I just realized that my scanner didn't bring out the magnificent detail of this stunning piece, so here's the coin done with the camera:

Should be easier to offer a grade assessment now.

Russ, NCNE

KlectorKid · September 30, 2002 7:54AM

PO-01 still think it was struck through pillow though

its4real · September 30, 2002 8:00AM

and where is the date on this "1798" coin exactly?

Cam40 · September 30, 2002 8:08AM

Thats a much better scan.
Maybe a PO02...or is it FR02?Or is it MS02?

KlectorKid · September 30, 2002 8:11AM

its FR-02

1907Quarter · September 30, 2002 8:11AM

Beautiful coin! Did he mention that there was a LITTLE corrosion?

KlectorKid · September 30, 2002 8:17AM

how much was this new metal mini CD?and what is the hole for?

Cam40 · September 30, 2002 5:21PM

I can think of two reasons why this, and many many other Large cent pieces were holed.

1) To be worn as a necklace

2) As a good luck charm of sorts,being nailed to a supporting beam,or elsewhere in ones home.

Gemini · September 30, 2002 7:20PM

Maybe VF stands for virtually featureless...

tjkillian · September 30, 2002 9:35PM

I would send it to ANACS and see how they NET grade it.

Russ.What are the holes for? The holes belong in the guys head not in the in the coin.Plus I think you're pulling our little legs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

DCAMFranklin · October 1, 2002 4:10AM

Russ-
Is this your way of teaching the newbies what NOT to do when buying on Ebay??

1907Quarter · October 1, 2002 4:21AM

actually BU-been used.

airplanenut · October 1, 2002 4:26AM

Problem Solved!

The reason it is so undergraded is because the grader is still a trainee at ACG

JeffinMich · October 1, 2002 4:53AM

Looks like a metal detector find. vf - very fugly.

RLinn · October 1, 2002 4:58AM

What does the chain look like that came with the coin? You did get the rest of the necklace didn't you? I just know you weren't thinking this was an actual coin.
