Lost a big one, gained a small one

Was recently bidding on a 1795 large cent graded VF35 and it ended up going for about $85 more than I was willing to pay but I did win this auction for an 1812 LC for $41.57, It's graded G04 (details) and its pretty corroded but I like it really well for a filler and at that price
I feel like it is slightly undergraded? Perhaps very low VG Details? Not going to resubmit it, just want some opinions on the grade, What do ya'll think?

I had it at G-4 also . The reverse is a bit better though .

 

Yeah, the reverse is definitely a little better than the obverse...

 

Ohh. Everytime I see 1812 I can only think of the War of 1812 . Wouldn't be cool if a soldier owned this at one point !

 

I think GOOD is as good as it will get

 

YES, that would be cool! (not very probable tho cuz these would be fresh off the mint during the war and the soldiers would probably have older currency...) Cool to think about tho!

 

Nice,paid $30 for mine its been in the ground for around 100 years probably.

 

both are nice is one I have yet to aquire, is not an easy date to come by cheaply

 

You'll find one some point i also dream of having a flowing hair cent.Messed up when I got sniped over one,didn't even have a date but man it sold for 23 bucks a dollar below my bid its been haunting me ever since.

 

I given a lot of thought to buying a replica/copper round.. there are a lot of crappy ones but a few are nice (usualy the rounds more realistic then the replica's lol)

Ohh man . The elusive flowing hair . I've been looking to find one some day Metal Detecting . The closest I've found is a 1795 Liberty Cap bur sold it years ago for a lousy 58 bucks .

 

Same here, the gallery mint museum large cents are the best replicas out there IMO
