It's a train wreck. A shame, really.

what's the green crud? VDG from the alloyed copper?

For the current price, it looks like a good buy.

PQueue · March 1, 2012 4:26AM

Agree, "a train wreck". The current price of $1,876 is already over priced.

using the new zoom features shows some really deep scratches all over.

Still a good buy?

Obviously you know this series, and way better than most...But a problem coin is still a problem coin.

I don't doubt his authority either. I just wondered if he utilized the new zoom feature. It was quite revealing.

i'd rather have a legit pcgs f12 at this price point. but, these are so rare that if none are for sale...

Looks like it might have been sweated

I just am basing my statement on what other better date problem coins may sell for, as they did in recent auctions. That coin seems to have a lot of meat on it. I would not be interested in buying it, and I agree, I would rather have a problem free VG or F coin.

steveben · March 1, 2012 5:26AM

Seller did very well. Crazy, really. That's about what I paid for a '39-C PCGS VF30 a couple of years ago.
