few little rim nicks but I thought coin looked original and vfish. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1838-Braide...t7FQcgKOjeD7jI%2FPQqM%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Looks like lower VF details, not sure if photo or corrosion issues though. Very good buy for under $20. Thinking to buy this type myself and 1838 is indeed most affordable. Will cost me slightly higher than $30. BTW, could someone share an online resource that lists and describes all the Newcombs for 1838 cent?
