<p>[QUOTE="gopher29, post: 442092, member: 5379"]Maybe I'm being too hard on this coin by net grading it all the way down to a FR-2. But "60 to 100 bucks"? I don't know about that. The corrosion on the obverse is quite detracting (especially because it obscures the date). The cleaned surface only adds to the distraction. These coins, which IMO have at least as much eye appeal as the coin in question, all sold on ebay recently for less than your estimate.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Large-Cent-Nice-305_W0QQitemZ330276692097QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330276692097&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Large-Cent-Nice-305_W0QQitemZ330276692097QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330276692097&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Large-Cent-Nice-305_W0QQitemZ330276692097QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330276692097&_trkparms=39:1|66:2|65:13|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Draped-Bust-Cent_W0QQitemZ260298357769QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260298357769&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Draped-Bust-Cent_W0QQitemZ260298357769QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260298357769&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Draped-Bust-Cent_W0QQitemZ260298357769QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260298357769&_trkparms=39:1|66:2|65:13|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Large-Cent-Fine-no-reserve_W0QQitemZ270280300445QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270280300445&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Large-Cent-Fine-no-reserve_W0QQitemZ270280300445QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270280300445&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-Large-Cent-Fine-no-reserve_W0QQitemZ270280300445QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270280300445&_trkparms=39:1|66:2|65:13|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-COIN_W0QQitemZ110291484685QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110291484685&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-COIN_W0QQitemZ110291484685QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110291484685&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A13|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-COIN_W0QQitemZ110291484685QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110291484685&_trkparms=39:1|66:2|65:13|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
