Gem/65 large cent

Overgraded?

That coin is covered with corosion!!!! I wouldn't pay over Good money for it!!!

I agree with the staement that it has nice details, but it also has evidence of significant corrosion.

Keyrock

Overgraded !!! There is alot of corrosion too. Look at the craters at 3:00 and 6:00 on the obverse, a huge crater on the reverse, the C in Cent is almost non existant from corrosion and lots of verdigri on both sides.

I agree! It looks like it has ACTIVE corrosion on it to boot!

How much is it?

I have one in 63/64 and my wife is reducing the size of it right now to show you the difference. If I can figure out how to upload it I'll post it in a few minutes.

P.S. Regardless of the fact I only put it on a flatbed scanner you WILL see the difference

Incidentally, I grade it VF-30 detail, net VG-8-. I enjoy seeing how PCGS forum readers react to such things.

It's a 10 day auction, so the coin may be complete eaten up by then

1818 in 63/64

It's not slabbed yet

mrearlygold,

Looks like a nice Randall Hoard N10 you've got there. To be consistent with ebay grading standards, I think you'll have to invent a new grade and call it MS-75.

whoever started to punch that hole in the "O" in ONE should have kept going.

Cleaned and re-toned; badly corroded. NAH!

Hahahahaha, thanks for the compliment. You know, there's condition, then there's grade, then there's quality. Something like that It's pretty sad to see some of the crap that's being sold as quality just because the alleged technical "grade" is on some plastic. Some guys tried to fry me on a thread about a 18/17-S quarter in 64FH a few months ago. I was making a point which only 2 or three people got. ( the customer who paid 75K for it from the same outfit that sold it was the guy who really got fried though)

I think I have to agree with everyone about the ebay piece despite the fact you really can't tell by scans ( not in a precise way).
