    Hey everyone :D

    Nothing special, but I just wanted to share it all with you! :goof: Picked this up for $33, including shipping, which I think is a really good buy (for me at least :goofer:). Please comment on its grade and any other urge you feel like commenting on :)

    I am also working on my picture taking skills, so let me know how I am doing on that. Thanks! :D

    Looks to me like crud, but I could be wrong. I would say F. Been trying to attribute it and it looks like a N-12. Can someone confirm this.

    I got N-12 (very scarce) too and so did Toad. So I'm going to go with that :D

    My opinion is F12. Nice overall.
    You may want to consider removing whatever is encrusted in the devices by dipping in acetone. I did this recently to an 1808 large cents, and it looks much better now. Acetone will not harm the coin. It will ony only dissolve deposits which are not corrosion.
