You wouldn't want this little beauty? [ATTACH]
You didn't waste anyones time, this forum is for learning.
The 1883 N/C is a common and affordable coin in higher grades. When I collected circulated coins, I would always want at least one example of a...
The coin looks like a nice example of VG-10 to me, but as you say not quite a F-12. In this case, the coin would receive the lover grade of...
