Large cent Grade help

Okay..I picked this and a bunch of other coins (which I will put up in the open forum) for $35. I mainly just wanted this one out of the lot because I need it for my essay.

I'm guessing VG-10ish..if sent to NGC or PCGS?

How'd I do with the purchase, and what do you think it grades?

VG sounds about right.

 

I'll have to agree with VG. The price is right.

 

Here was the rest of what was (US wise) in the lot:

nice lil 3 cent silver I see.

 

I hope it's just nickel..lol...I sold that part

 

yes, 3 cent nickel.

 

oops.

 

Not a bad lot for $35. I think you did pretty good and I agree vg on the large cent. I can't see the surfaces real good, but assume no problems.

 

It looks like a nice large cent, VG is about right.

 

I agree with the VG, just would be better is it weren't so dark. You did good for the price paid I think, I'd go for that lot for that price too.

Thanks guys. So VG-10 then.

Anyone have the graysheet price for this? My Blackbook (yes Blackbook) says $25, but what should I expect to easily get out of this one coin?

$20ish? or lower?

Depends who you're selling to. Retail=20, Wholesale=10-15.

Nah, a bit higher.

 

Look at the coin in the photo in post #4 (as opposed to the photo in post #1), and tell me if you still feel that way.

Said another way, if the coin is dark and has hard surfaces as it appears in the first photo, I might agree with you, but I suspect it's closer to the 2nd photo, and I don't agree.

Thoughts?

 

I should've noted, the first picture is a totally different coin than the one in pst four. The OP was the best coin in the lot, and I scanned the rest of it. So, two large cents

Nice lot for $35. VG-8 on the 1845 Large Cent.

 

Oh, I'm so confused. :crying:

Then I agree with 900fine that my prior estimate was low, that coins probably worth $30ish retail and $15ish wholesale.
