    A couple of spots that catch the eye if you look at it, but otherwise, a nice solid coin, in my opinion.

    Congrats. It always feels good to add a new type to the collection. Enjoy!

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    Is that a long rim bomb at & on the obv? As well as some deep scratches in the left field of the obv and cut on the rev above left wing is a little concerning

    Price was 116 after shipping. Did I do good or was that to much?

    And should I send it in for grading?

    Congrats on your new purchase. I would keep that one raw, as some others noted a few issues. Enjoy the history in your hands

    Since you asked - the price you paid appears reasonable. However, that's a very common type, with many to choose from. So with patience, you probably could have gotten a nicer one for a similar or slightly higher price.

    And no, you shouldn't send it in for grading, as that would add roughly 50% to your total cost in the coin and it would probably receive a details grade. The fact that you asked indicates that you're not well versed on values.

    Have fun, but be patient in your collecting. I know that's hard to do, but In the long run, you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of your collecting..

    Thank you for the advice. It took me 6 months to pull the trigger on this . He started at 150. So I waited. You are correct, I got serious about collecting 3 years ago. Meaning studying and reading everything I can find. And again thank you for your advice. I truly appreciate it.
