1794 S-28 Large Cent, you vs NGC

By the standards of coins 50 years younger, I would say a majority of these have what you'd call "problems." This one is an amazingly nice coin and shouldn't have been detailed, for sure, but I could see them doing so on a coin that was a later date.

How on Earth did you get it that cheaply? I can understand bad photos, but was it misclassified, or did the seller do a BIN and didn't know what he had? I would think that any genuine example of that date, even if completely mangled, would go for at least twice what you paid.

BTW even though I don't buy coins in details slabs, yours is one I would be proud to own. Those surfaces are the early copper equivalent of a "monster toner"!

Thanks. I was really happy when I got the coin in hand.
