Took a dive into early copper... how'd I do?

No returns accepted, so it's kinda a gamble. But the piece looks very respectable. The last two PCGS XF40s sold for about $2k on Heritage. I think the white speckles on the obverse closeup are a glare from some flecks on the holder, not the coin.

I'm very new to early copper. Is this an S-270? Is it, generally speaking, an attractive piece?

    Looks good from the pics! And there's really no such thing as "no returns" with Paypal, so you're covered.

    Nice but like you I'm no expert on copper, Will.

    Nice, Will! Looks terrific. Bill Jones might be able to answer your question.

    Are you hoping it will cross? I like those early ANACS holders and have been lucky moving them to PCGS.

    If I think it will stay XF45, I'll try it with PCGS. If I think it would downgrade, I might leave it as ANACS XF45.

    "Is this an S-270? "
    -----
    Yes, it is an S-270, the only variety of the year.

    As a variety, it's common, but since it is the only
    variety of the year, it's considered scarce as a
    date.

    I think I read the the cent press broke down
    early in 1806, which would account for the fact
    that there is only one variety for the year.

    As pictured that is a fine looking piece of copper. I hope it's even better in hand. MJ

    it looks nice to me.
    the pictures kind of give the coin a little "glow" but Im guessing its just the pictures.
    otherwise the coin does look quite nice.
    may the fonz be with you...always...
