Well, considering that it shows a date, that is pretty nice

 

Once a holder is cracked open its completely worthless so just ignore everything on the label

 

As a casual Colonial collector.. I would Pass.

 

why would you pass??

 

Two reasons: Cracked open holder and not that great of a grade. Just doesn't appeal to me. JMHO

 

ok, i worry about corrosion, if sealed, it :might: stop, or does it continue till coin is dust??? anyways, it is too high for me now..1390 or some such..

 

Everything will eventually be dust. You wouldnt have to worry about it turning to dust in your lifetime

 

well then, since i probably only have 10 or 15 years to go, no problem then, lol cheers!

 

It's just that I have some Colonials that I've dug while "Metal Detecting" that are almost unidentifiable now after only about 16 years in air-tite holders. When I found them they were better this coin.

 

Lol hopefully longer than that, but the coin should last well beyond anyone of any age thats alive today. It's over 200 years old and pretty stable by now

 

Heritage shows a couple of straight Grade G6s for about $3200. I'd want a bit more discount than the current bid price, though I would be a buyer at the appropriate discount.

And they just saved me the trouble of cracking the slab to put the coin in a cotton lined envelope the way copper should be kept.
