Check out this ugly dog! This was an ebay purchase last Sunday that showed up yesterday!
I haven't had time to take my own photo's just yet, but it looks just like this in hand.

    Nice. I had pointed out a well circulated, but white coin on eBay the other day and was disparaging it. Another forum member asked what I thought was wrong with it, to which my response was that it didn't look lie a well circulated CC coin from this period should look.

    Now THIS coin, is what I expect! I would love to know where this coin has traveled and for what it was used to purchase.

    YES, that's the way old silver should look.

    I considered bidding on it but it was just too crusty for me and I like crust! I have 3 other 1876-CC's as well. Glad you're happy with it. It's the ultimate circ cameo, that's for sure! I wonder how it toned so dark. IN an envelope, maybe?

    That's actually very cool!
    It was LordM that got me started looking for these circulated cameos.
