<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 1431419, member: 24754&quot;]Hey Guys. I recently purchased this 1806 half cent for my type collection, got it at a local live auction. I&#039;m not all that familiar with grading standards on these things, and also I am not all that skilled at determining past cleaning activities. In particular on this coin, I am wondering whether the toning is original or artificial. The coin is darker in hand than it appears in the photos. I also wanted to see if those of you familiar with this series would provide a grade approximation (also a value approximation if you are comfortable giving one). There are scratches that can be seen on the obverse, however, they are exaggerated by the lighting in the photo. In fact, I didn&#039;t even realize that the coin was scratched until I looked at this picture that I had taken (guess I need to examine potential buys a bit more closely). The coin has a rotated reverse, the degree of which is shown in the pictures, kinda cool. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]175008.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
