It's going back tomorrow, but I will still have to pay to return it.
Here is the highest grade large cent I have. [ATTACH] Some people might like this one more. [ATTACH] The grading company gave this one a...

“Half penny” is accurate. The cent is a U.S. invention. It is 1/100th of a dollar. There are 240 pennies in a £ (pound). The math is 12 pence to a...
Another theory is that they may have been dipped or cleaned many years ago and stored in envelopes where the high portions of the design came in...
