Nice lg cent.

Here's one that's fun:

 

Now you're talking yummy nice H-10. I take a dozen like her.

 

How come these look better than higher grades?

 

That, sir, is an excellent question! The nicest AU58s have equivalent eye appeal to many MS coins in the MS64/65 range. That little touch of wear equates to tremendous savings to acquire a really nice looking coin.

 

After seeing some examples here, I can no longer understand why people buy the grade and not the coin! Some of these are ridiculously pretty and for some of the expensive ones, probably 50% of the cost of an MS

 

I think investors are more concerned with grade (and price).

Collectors buy the coin. It's more than just an investment.

 

I bought the large cent because I thought it was a sharp coin at a great price. AU58 was a bonus.

 

This one is real nice for a 58,slight rub on her leg otherwise this is a 62/63

 

Thats one of the nicest AU-58 1917 -P SLQ FH coins I've seen . If I saw this one I never would have bought my 65 . Good eye !

 

Thank you!By the way,I bought this in old anacs soapbox holder and it was a Ms61FH,but i know some people love 58's like this so I'm pretty certain if I ever sell this one I will do alright. Appreciate the kind words.

 

New arrival. Got nice purplish toning the photo doesn't show.

 

Much tougher Date/MM, particularly in higher grades. Part of my 1858 business strike set. PCGS/CAC AU58.

 

That is Freaking sharp! Love it.

 

An AU58 I couldn't pass up.

 

Only a 55, but still love it....sorry, cheating a little.

 

Reported to mods.

 

We'll forgive you this once.

 

Arrived today. AU58 made this affordable.
