    Looks nice for $25. Do you have the seller's name? I wonder who in Rochester it is.

    you are right about the pics, looks like nice details though. I'm guessing VF-XF??

    Saw a nice AUish at a show this weekend but didn't ask about it.

    The name of the seller is Joseph Lanzafame and I think the coin is a good VF. Hey, all the ones I've seen in less than AU look like they have been dragged behind a truck. This one looked real good so I jumped on it in the final minutesimage

    I like it! Great price on an undamaged piece. I believe there's some crud hiding in the recesses, and it might be verdigris, but maybe not. If not, it'll probably come clean after an olive oil soak.

    There's almost aways crud in the recesses of these coins. They are crud magnets.

    You were lucky the last few second snipe was a round amount and your older bid prevailed. Had he put in an extra penny or two, you would have lost it. Congratulations! image
