On the poorguy scale of picture fuzzyness (0-13).

Sorry but the pic went bad on you.

Vet

IMHO--a lot of green on the reverse that doesn't auger well for your purchase.

Thanks for the better pics. Seller claims problem free 5 day return ,his pics wern't very good but I thought for an opening bid I would take the chance .

billboat

Still have reservations about the reverse.

Dog Poop - How can you buy an 1828 that is corroded.You can buy a choice uncirculated coin for around a thousand bucks.For $2000 you can get a choice uncirculated with red on it.The 1828 with 13 stars is the most common capped bust half cent.

Dog poop!! Thanks for your opinion and you may be correct I thought it didn't look quite right but the seller say its problem free with a 5 day return policy .and I don't have $2000, bucks im willing to spend on a half cent but for $50.00 I can fill a hole in my album. If it turns out to be corroded it will go back.

billboat

I don't think there is much question about the corrosion--why go to the trouble of buying it and sending it back--why not shop around and find a better--if somewhat lower grade, that is pleasing to the eye?

Vet

Item # 3939090651 I guess I went with his description over the pics, thinking that if if its a snow job no loss send it back.

Looks EF; the green might be an artifact of the digital distortion.

or it might be "stuff"

let us know how it looks!

Vet

I will when I get the coin in hand. 1 dog poop and 1 EF that just about covers the whole range.

seems vf-20-ish, & yes, i like the coin.

I think the coin looks fine for what it is.

BillJones

This coin probably has close to EF sharpness, but the surfaces are dark and corroded. As such it would net grade to Fine-VF and not be a quick seller except at a bargain price. It would get a body bag if it were sent to PCGS or NGC.

Vet

I like it to. No its not regestry quality,but it didn't set me back a grand or two. If it fits within the relm of the description I will keep it if not it goes back.
