WTB one or two Draped Bust & one Classic Head large cent, G-F

Raw common dates/varieties, Good to Fine. No porosity or other problems.

Well, OK, the "no porosity" rule might be tough to enforce, particularly with the Classic Heads, I know. Let's just say that I will only accept coins with microporosity, and then only if I can see a picture first and if they are priced accordingly.

Clarification, since I apparently offended somebody who offered me a nice early cent via PM:

I do not want stuff that makes EAC people go gaga. I do not care about rare Sheldon varieties, etc.

My potential customers (and I) are not that discerning. To be candid, I am barely a cut above a flea market dealer if you get right down to it. (At least in terms of inventory and budget- I do think I have more class and integrity than most flea marketeers.)

I want something I can sell more in line with Redbook prices (laugh if you like, but that and the Coin Prices mags are the references most average folk around here will be using).

I don't wanna sell corroded crap but I do realize that to find earlier copper at Redbook price or less I will have to make sacrifices. That's fine. An old cleaning, a little microporosity, OK.

I want the best I can get within those parameters. I suppose I will go and wade through mountains of crap on eBay and try to find one or two reasonably priced but not hideous pieces.

Yes, I know it may take a while.
