Hi, I'd say it has xf details, but the cleaning would knock it down into the vf range for a "net." You might think about sticking it in a paper...
I think the reeded edge is sort of a giveaway.
Great buy, Mark, other than the wear that LC looks to be in great condition. Kudos!
That's a spectacular coin, and a superb example of "tab toning" on the reverse. Considering that he knew from captured orders that Lee had...
It looks like you made a nice purchase from Teaparty. They seem to have some very knowledgeable "boots on the ground" at the major shows and have...

Thanks for your opinion, Mark. There's really no way to make purses out of these particular sow's ears, I guess! WRT the bust half, there was a...
When I first started collecting, about 3 years ago, I naturally wanted to buy the least-circulated, least expensive (bad combination, that!)...
