Large Cent Tip 1/24

This one is about to expire so hurry! This is a 1796 S-116 (R5) variety. There appears to be good detail and a bit of condition issues, but it's hard to tell from the small photos. There is usually weakness at the double leaf at NT of the reverse.

Dang I can barely see it much less attribute it.

 

Wow! The price has skyrocketed since I first posted it. It was $24 then. Now over $400.

 

The Reverse X is distinctive. The obverse is consistent, but not distinctive.

 

I will post better pics once it arrives. I was the high bidder.

 

Congrats Matt!!!

 

Here it is. I have to say I was surprised by the reverse... The description did mention the issues but the pics didn't show them well. I do think that for the $440 I paid I might still be able to get out of it at a profit. What do you guys think?

 

I don't know. Goldbergs sold a G4 Sunday for $460 plus juice.

 

I know man made damage like that kills a coin value, much more so than corrosion, but I think there is a nice profit in that coin still. I'd call it 25 net 5, will look up it up in the price guide later.

 

Congratulations! It's my kind of coin, but I don't know if it's the markets kind of coin.

 

G5 in scudzy has a book price of $400. Found a pretty decent comp at Heritage, corroded with damage:

I think there is some profit in there.

 

Thanks guys! I appreciate the info.

 

Good luck if you sell it.
