Message:: [QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 26371670, member: 151874"]This new one isn't exactly in pristine condition, but I think it's a solid upgrade from the current placeholder (don't mind the flappy bits of foam filler material) that's in the draped bust large cent position. From the lengthy discussion I had with the shop owner and consulting his Sheldon variety book, we're both very confident that this is a S-271, state A (perfect dies) and prior to the "comet" or other flaws. There's nothing really "rare" about it at an R-1, but landing on a value (sale price) was probably the most difficult part, but I'm happy with the coin regardless of cost. It'll soon be housed in my 7070 after a few long acetone baths and anything I can do to help it out. And strangely, it has a slight convexed / concaved shape to it without having any heavy impact marks. There's a small ding one the E of ONE in the reverse, but nothing that would really substantiate it going from flat to convex.
