Nice coin, Lance. Who else has the key date? Here's my N-2: [img][img]
Somewhere other than where you say on a forum. :) Get a safety deposit box. They are not expensive.
Morgandude, A fact that you seem to be missing is that PCGS is very lenient when it comes to hairlines on proofs from this time period. If the...
Love that '21, Lance. Here's my '22 N-7 -- I'm not really that happy with this recolored coin, I'd much rather have Mark's :) : [img][img]
A Randall Hoard cent from 1820 graded 64B. The story goes it lived in a buried keg for a number of years: [img][img] An 1820 -- a fairly tough...

Most of the other ones made sense to me. This one? I'm surprised it's this close! I would have thought the Buff would win by more than 5 to 1.
So what are you going to do with the coin?
IMO, no as I like the coin the way it is. But really I have no idea what Verdicare will do to a coin like my 1816. Thad sent me an example to...
Thanks for your response, Lance. :) The corrosion and uneven color (if by "uneven color" you mean the light tan and darker brown mottled look...
It is a prooflike MS coin. FWIW, when I first saw the coin, I thought it was a proof as well.
The red all over the coin. The green hidden in the hair curls to the left of the curl. Both are corrosion. Also, some of the verdigris (i.e....
