<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MattSpike, post: 736388, member: 21304&quot;]<span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Hey everyone - Thanks for all your replies.&nbsp; In answer to the “heavily corroded = heavily discounted” question, I did in fact purchase the coin for a very fair price (about the cost of the coin in G-4 without corrosion).&nbsp; I was just excited to have a coin like this with these kinds of details (especially on the obverse).&nbsp; Before this one, the oldest US issued coin I had was a 1795 in Fair-2 condition with the reverse completely obliterated.&nbsp; So this is a total upgrade for me (without having to spend too much money).&nbsp; And thinking about the time period in which this coin was issued is a thrill.&nbsp; I like to think that this was the cent that George Washington used to purchase a cup of coffee at the StarBucks equivalent for that time period.&nbsp; Or maybe he’s a “double soy latte with an extra shot’ kind of guy?</font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Thanks again for you thoughts.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
