<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 441995, member: 12965"]It's a 1798 S-187 2nd Hairstyle (R-1 rarity) and there's a rim cud at 2K to 3K on the obverse and a die crack through the fraction on the reverse. As to grade, obverse is VG-8 details and the reverse is VF-12 details but it's corroded, scratched, and as you pointed out, it's been the victim of a vampire attack so I'd give it a Net AG-3 or G-4 but a compassionate TPG might go as high as G-6. As to value, on Ebay it would bring between 60 to 100 bucks and if I was bidding, I'd bid around 70 bucks and the book would probably be around $100 to $125.</p><p> </p><p>I like it! :thumb: But I'm a firm believer that beat up copper needs a home too and I have some DBC's in my collection that look worse than this one does. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
