    Looks like a nice cent... but the pictures are very dark. Cheers, RickO

    Nice purchase!

    I usually end up paying $10 or $15 for the very common modern, slabbed Proof coins for my registry type set. Getting a nice 63 year old cent for the same money is quite a find.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Can you even get it graded for that?

    was recently graded (3/21 as one of at least 18 coins) so very likely it was while the 10 for $100 dollar and cents special was running so only $10 to grade it... Without that deal though yeah would cost more.

    I'd assume anyone who knows coins realizes that the color is off, obviously. But surfaces look sharp. Geez.

    let me add the "sellers" pic's... which were crap but show the color much better.. but it was the NGC pics that show the surfaces much better...

    What in the world are you guys talking about? 😆 The surfaces don’t look ‘sharp’ in the NGC pics—the pics are comically awful. You can’t see squat about squat.

    In any case, $15, yes that’s cheap. Last 3 NGC examples sold for $41, $40 and $52

    Perhaps the OP will post a better pic at some point. I think it will look just fine for the grade. Not sure why you even care to post such negativity but to each his own.

    Yes, Hope to have it in hand and new pic's tomorrow... regretably it's been doing the USPS world freakin tour... it is less then an hours drive away from me at the moment (at least acording to tracking) so with luck and no more screw ups... tomorrow hehe

    must be my aging eyes, I can't conclude anything from any of these pictures, other than the grade assigned. :s

  • MrweaseluvMrweaseluv Posts: 226 ✭✭✭✭✭

    here we go... damn hard to get a clear pic, but i think these will do :smile: I am very very happy :smiley:
