<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 1652487, member: 24544"]A lot of early copper has problems, clean choice coins are had to come by and carry a large premium. I guess the question I have is what are you goals with Connecticut coppers? Are you looking to really delve in and do varieties, or are you looking to add one or two as type pieces? If it were me, and I was looking for one or two pieces I would hold out for a nice common variety with relatively clean/problem free surfaces. </p><p><br /></p><p>My own personal opinion, and I mainly collect early copper, is buy the nicest one you can reasonable find and afford. I say 'find' because when you get into varieties and die states sometimes there just are not nice examples period. So yes, I have quite a few heavily corroded coins which I am very proud to own and show off. Would I like to upgrade them, sure, but finding then available at any grade or any price can get difficult.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
