    Just bought an 1850 LC. Thought it looked like a nice, original old coin. Don't have in hand yet, but thought I'd get your opinions on grade and value. Do you guys think it is cleaned? Thanks in advance.

    If it is harshly cleaned, it is an old cleaning. What I think I do see here is a recent bath to neutralize active but not bad corrosion. That is how I interpret the green areas - verdigris that has been arrested.

    Anyone else have ideas on grade/value? Thanks again.

    I like it as a high Fine to lower VF. In numbers, maybe F-15. Could go VF-20.
