Looks to me like the left Obv. field has been smoothed.

Broadstruck · September 8, 2015 6:48AM

Wow what a cent for less then $700... Seller was foolish for not resubmitting it a couple more times.

EAC collectors would be happy with it raw even.

It sold in 18 minutes for the full asking price according to Watchcount.

Even if the scratch in the obverse field was smoothed the overall look is still far better then many in graded holders.

18 minutes... I think that proves my point.

Broadstruck · September 8, 2015 7:06AM

Because it still looks better then many in the $7-10K range.

I agree. Between star 2 and Liberty's throat has definitely been worked on.

Why is it raw and why was it priced so low. Those are the questions that need to be answered.

rhedden · September 8, 2015 8:33AM

Can't often get a classic head with that kind of look for $700. I agree that zas107 did well in buying it. Doesn't matter if it had some work done on it or not for that price, or if it's cleaned and recolored for that matter. There's just no downside.

grote15 · September 8, 2015 8:49AM

<< Why is it raw and why was it priced so low. Those are the questions that need to be answered. >>

According to the description, the coin came back from PCGS as cleaned. I'm guessing it's still raw because the submitter requested that the coin not at least be holdered as genuine?

Still a great pickup, if genuine.

EAC is often found raw.

Quick, now which one of us is going to contact the seller to let him know about this thread?

Just a little sarcasm.

Broadstruck · September 8, 2015 9:49AM

After taking a good look at the sellers pics again I just want to say until it's in zas107's hands this is a total piece of $#!+

Hope this helps?

I think he means he doesn't like this thread because it is possible the seller may read it and suddenly "lose the coin".

Bochiman · September 8, 2015 10:37AM

Would love to see that one in hand.
From the pics, it looks stellar! Especially at $700!

who gives a shoot what others think, buyer got a good deal on a meaty coin that looks good at first glance for that kind of price!!

Great buy. Regardless of how it comes back.

NumisOxide · September 8, 2015 1:39PM

Nice pickup! Glossy look.

numisma · September 8, 2015 1:46PM

$700 for THAT beautiful coin, and it was won on a Best Offer? Easily a $4,000 coin. I would have just hit the BIN instantly.

numisma · September 8, 2015 1:49PM

... although I should say that it is clearly recolored, and possibly burnished prior to the adjustment. Still a beauty for what it is.

Broadstruck · September 8, 2015 2:01PM

I've only learned to appreciate these 08-14 LG's in the last decade as the hairdo on Miss Liberty looks like she was in a 1980's Heavy Metal band

"Ebay is not for everyone. "

roadrunner · September 9, 2015 12:44AM

Seller has probably received multiple "offers" for more money since the auction ended. A good integrity check.

That coin might have been worth $700 back in the 1970's.

SeattleSlammer · September 9, 2015 1:07AM

Indeed. I keep going back to the Bay year after year after year....persistence can net great buys once in a while.

I was thinking that. Looks flat but otherwise retains a lot of details.

Alltheabove76 · September 9, 2015 3:07AM

I doubt that is dellers darkener. The color is pretty uniform which never happens with that stuff.

Have you received a tracking number yet that would indicate that it has been shipped, and not interfered with by the existence of this thread?

id love to see what it comes back with. just curious and fwiw.

Why add insult to injury by outing yourself as the buyer

<<

Agreed. Were I the buyer I'd have PM'd the thread creator and politely asked him to remove the thread at least until I'd gotten the piece in hand. If the seller sees this thread before shipping then there is a real chance the buyer doesn't get the coin.

As to the coin itself...definitely looks cleaned and recolored to me but still a nicely struck piece. That worked on field might be a dealbreaker though.

Bochiman · September 9, 2015 6:43AM

There are 2-3 spots on that coin that make me think work, of some sort, was done on it.
Regardless, the meat is there on that coin and it isn't an easy one to find like that...

zas107 · September 10, 2015 5:45AM

I received a tracking number from the seller, and was quite excited this morning when it was scanned as delivered . I went to the post office, and there was no package. I provided them with the tracking number provided to me, and it correlated to a promotional pamphlet that was addressed to another PO box....... Time to work on getting my money back.

TigersFan2 · September 10, 2015 5:50AM

Keep an eye on the seller to see if he sells that coin again. Based on his Ebay history, that's the only coin in his "sold" category, he doesn't sell much and most of his feedback is from purchases.

Broadstruck · September 10, 2015 5:51AM

Double check the tracking with the seller before you request a refund.

Although this cent is AU beyond the field issue it looks betters many graded AU58 & MS61-63.

It's worth fighting for a bit before tossing in the towel.

Wait a few days before doing anything. USPS tracking numbers are horribly unreliable. I have had packages to me show up as "delivered" when they were still in the local Post Office waiting to be stuck in the individual p.o. boxes.

Walkerguy21D · September 10, 2015 6:20AM

The coin looks familiar, but I'm not on eBay enough to recognize that particular seller.
Interesting to note that he has historically sold a number of better large cents, and for much more realistic market prices.
Wonder why he let this one go so cheap?

I would have paid about triple the asking price.
