<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 832562, member: 13342&quot;]Thanks for the advice all! I really appreciate all of the quick responses!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think that both coins have better than average details and are attractive for the grade/price, though they aren&#039;t &quot;perfect&quot;.(I always spend several hours on Heritage archives making comparisons on any coins I consider purchasing over $100).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I purchased the merc, it would stay in the slab. I used to have an AG-3 NGC, but sold it about a month ago and was looking for a full good to better fit with the set. Thanks for the advice illini and I will consider a VG, though it will stand out as having more detail in my G set. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The large cent would be cracked for my album. I did notice the green debris on the large cent, but it looks more like PVC than verdigris. I thought the overall surface quality and detail level was better than average when comparing to certified coins on Heritage. I have used acetone on coins of value with good results.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
