Well. I purchased the coin for $45 along with an 1853P american half dime in G condition for $15 bucks making the total purchase $60. I would like...
Sorry I can not provide a better photo because it is still in the store. If I indeed buy it for a decent price I will provide more info but as of...

Hey all. I've been back on the coin hunt on a local scale. I frequent "we buy gold" stores near me and sometimes find interesting pieces. I know I...
