That's alright, I don't hunt for issues and expect perfection with circulated, 180 year old coins. Seems the majority of the matron heads have on issue or another, whether it bumps, environmental issues, or what have you. Anyhow, there is always a market for large cents with issue on the cheap.
Outstanding on LIBERTY on the obverse and a clear ONE CENT on the reverse. But both reverse and obverse are barely readable on the circular areas near the rim. Good would be a proper grading but its venerable age could bring it up to VG.
Speaking of corrosion. Do you think this coin is corroded? I saw it for sale on Ebay and it is in a problem free slab. I am thinking it seems so many old coppers have some sort of corrosion, where do the TPGs stand on this? Do they allow so much corrosion on old coppers? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1794-Libert...695910?hash=item2a5ced8326:g:qP4AAOSwstxU~lD2
I would guess that the "rare coin bias" (for a lack of better words) came into play with the 1794. If it was an 1834 it would probably have a lesser chance of grading problem free. Likewise, if your coin was dated 1793 it would probably grade problem free. I think this is market grading.
