Poll: How will this purchase turn out

Boosibri

How will this purchase turn out of a scarce 1842-O H10c? Pictures are poor but the coin is rare and expensive. Paid $69 delivered. Kicker is, I won't see this coin until August or so when I return to the US.

Sorry to disappoint

I voted that you doubled your money (albeit from a small number).

Thats what I thought but why not and I need one for my 1842 mint set assuming it is nice enough in hand...VF20:$200, VF25$250, VF30 $300, VF35 $375, XF40 $525. Id guess either VF30 or VF details.

27 votes, 11 that its a problem coin (or that I wasted my money), 16 that it will grade and I'll do OK. Thanks for participating.

Hard to tell if and env issues from a scan like that -- looks ok to me. I would give it a long acetone soak before submitting to make sure there is no PVC.

I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised, and the coin is going to turn out to be an original (uncleaned) VF 25 or 30.

Scans like this do not do justice to a coin's surfaces.

Man, I just don't see a VF there, I don't think you wasted your money,
I think you got what you paid for... Can't wait to find out :-)

Well there is a full "liberty" which would designate at least an f15 if it's gradeable. Dealer is Canadian with very few US coins all H10c. A VF details coin is still $70-$100 I think.

ebaybuyer

definitely a decent piece, maybe lightly cleaned, if you cant stand looking at it, ill bail you out of it for 69$
