thanks, i'm looking for opinions before i buy

 

He's right hard to judge by those pics, and the 5 cent piece looks to be corroded.

 

Doug:
On the first piece, what makes you think that it is cleaned?

 

I am curious on the first piece as well. I see something in a few of the letters but the coin looks in the picture ok to me. I blew it up and didnt see anything alarming. The other coins I can not see well enough to make a comment one way or the other,.

 

Doug - as requested what do you see on the copper coins?

 

What do you see to make you think cleaned doug?

 

There's no debris in the crevices on the first one so that would make me think it had been cleaned. You don't hang around that long and not build up a little dirt. But on the second copper I don't think it's been cleaned, at least, not anytime recently.

Haven't you guys learned????

Ask Doug, they all have been cleaned. Harshly.

 

And the rest are AU's?

I see it on the 1917 and the 1924, but the 1915 looks ok besides maybe a scratch ot two on the reverse.

 

AHA - caught you - spock has not posted in this thread.

I would want to see both of them in hand to make that determination. I see what could be - finger prints on the reverse, but even with my magnifying glass could I see the hairlines. Pictures too little for Mark.

 

I got this 1918 large penny. It was $2 US with shipping. I just wanted to add a large penny to my small but growing collection. It's a small pic, but I don't think it looks recently cleaned. Nice, old, and toned!



Also, is this an average price ($1.50 + $0.50 S&H) to pay for a run-of-the-mill canadian large cent? Just wondering, thanks.

 

Well I do not know if it is average price or a good price, but I wish I could get some US large cents that looked like that for $2.

 

Thats why I also collect them. You get a whole lot of coin for the money in those Canadian Lg Cents....really, Canadian in general seems a bargain compared to US. I got started while still living in Detroit.
