    Didn't think this was terrible for less than $40. Good details? s-l1600-2.jpeg s-l1600-3.jpeg

    Details better more so the reverse, but I think you did pretty doggone good.

    I see listings of PrAg/ $100, G4/$180 and VG8/$318. If you flipped it you could easily double your money, IMO.

    I think you've got a pretty good eye for affordable early coppers. That's why I've put my money where my mouth is, and bought a few from you in the past. ;)

    BTW, I would concur with G4 details on that one, and think the surfaces are relatively decent for a lower grade Classic Head cent (not too much porosity, for one thing).

    A nice coin especially for under $40.
