Looks like a nice VF-35, I would pay about $40-45 for it.

 

rhanks for your reply kirkuleez

 

thanks Kirkuleez

 

No problem Jerry. Did you win it?

 

yes I did. max bid was 33 so I think I did ok.

 

Not a bad deal at all, I've been seeing large cents going for ridiculously high prices recently.

 

for sure if you want uncirculated ones. The high vf or xf ones are not too expensive usually. Lots of mediocre coins on e-bay that claim to be higher grade than reality. Sometimes you have to look for awhile on there to find decent coins at a decent price. Sometimes you get a decent deal.

 

I haven't made any coin purchases in over a month because the ANA National Money Show is in my backyard next week and I'm saving up for it. I've had to avoid the bay like the plague and I'm having withdraws. I think that this is the longest time I have gone without buying a coin in over thirty years.

 

yes a month would have me having withdrawls for sure. There is a small coin show here tomorrow that I am going to check out.
