    Now that is nasty.. and a horrible shame that it's the key date in the series..
    When in doubt, don't.

    I find it funny that the consignee is fine with having provenance added to the auction description on this one image

    This would fit well in rld14's collection of things that should have never been entombed in plastic.

    Net details look closer to VF/XF really, but yeah- that's a shame.

    What's your best guess for its final price?

    $50 to $100?

    No worries... lots of Sterno and aspirin will prevent infection.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Maybe $125-$150 range to somone who thinks they can save it or at least make it look better
    and reslab it.

    Rare is rare. Not for me.
    Let's try not to get upset.
  • ebaybuyerebaybuyer Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭
    nothin will help that piece. as anyone that has a metal detector will tell you, that was a ground find, and if you remove the rest of the corrosion, it will have gaping craters. it would look much worse than it does now. the easy to remove corrsion has already been removed. too bad it wasnt found in a sandy area

    That thing should have been soaked prior to slabbing. Crazy!

    An exemplar of FUBAR. Totally irremediable. The only doctor who could fix that is Dr. Strangelove.

    edited to add: Exactly as ebaybuyer says.

    Ah, sheez guys, I bet it closed north of $300.
    Not for me, but is for others who desire the date and want it certified, on the cheap.

    One of the holy grails in the metal detecting community. Obvious a metal detector find. Terrible condition, but to recover a 135 year old coin, lost in circulation, that ain't seen the light of day for over a century...priceless....Two different worlds collided. Don't knock it.. The guy/gal found lost money and is getting paid for it. Nothing wrong with that.
  • telephoto1telephoto1 Posts: 4,949 ✭✭✭✭✭
    No offense but I thought Stacks/Bowers would have a bit more class than to offer something like that in a major auction, scarce date or no. That looks like something you'd see on eBay.

    I had forgot about this thing. It brought $352.
