That puppy deserves an airtite. :)
Good luck on the exam and congrats on your buys.
Aging does not change the grade or value. Wear and tear will change the grade and the value. So while it may have been passed around in the past...
I was thinking more like 1/2 cent short of a full copper.
Yes - that is one nice copper.
Yes -lol, looks like most are a few common coins shy of a set anyway.
Get a camera with a macro setting - I know it is tough to spend that money when you could buy a few coins, but it is worth it. Still, this walker...
Nice coin!
I'll say VF30.
While I certainly will not knock ebay, I will say I would not buy a slabbed coin with bad pictures. There are some technical graded...
No - not really. To really grade it you need to look for imperfections, which could not be seen with tiny pictures. As it is I agreed with PR70...
You'll do fine stainless. You put forth the effort and it will work out in the long run.
I agree - just hold on to it.
I agree. That is a cool coin. And I believe the reverse would give away that the coin was not an 1877.
Cool find. No clue about a price.

Speedy - I think you are talking about the small thorn type projection on second bar from top on right side. It is listed on the coin facts page....
Yep - Keep looking. I finally found one of the extra cactus Arizona coins. Lots of errors not yet discovered. Searching is part of the fun. :)
Yep - why I guess PR70 on the other auction. Same grade on this coin.
Probably PR70 Ultra cameo from NGC. Just a guess.
