<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boot, post: 2071254, member: 19744&quot;]Funny, eye of the beholder.&nbsp; I too wondered about the cleaning.&nbsp; Yet I found the appearance better that the bulk of the coins I could found in an under 3K price range. Additionally, the rare factor (30-75 known) was much higher that coins going for 500-1000 with barely perceptible dates and features.&nbsp; I am hoping that the pic didn&#039;t to the coin justice, and amplified the flaws. </p><p>Thanks for playing an open hand.&nbsp; These large coppers certainly are much different that the small cents.&nbsp; Grading, and the growing pains of the mint.&nbsp; I gave this coin the benefit of my doubt, because of the reported lower quality copper available to make them during the Philadelphia (very small) mint at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
