<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2877653, member: 1892&quot;]Look especially around the date, where the crud buildup is so thick that the lack of it elsewhere tends to indicate it <b>has</b> to have been cleaned in the past. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is an issue I&#039;ve been looking for casually for many years without finding the right coin. Values vary as widely as strike quality - the people seeking them understand this, which is why prices tend to track quality moreso than many issues - and examples with well-struck bodies tend to go high.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am planning to spend around $250 for the right one, and for that I expect a nice original AU. A budget of $150 should net you a <i>nice</i> VF/decent XF example. There are varieties described, some of which are rarer than others and affect value. This is my attribution aid for them:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.novanumismatics.com/numismatic-essays/feuchtwangers-composition-cent-attribution-die-marriages-2/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.novanumismatics.com/numismatic-essays/feuchtwangers-composition-cent-attribution-die-marriages-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.novanumismatics.com/numismatic-essays/feuchtwangers-composition-cent-attribution-die-marriages-2/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They aren&#039;t all that rare, but <b>are</b> uncommon in well-preserved condition, requiring patience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
