All 4 purchases were “orange”, which means look at the piece closely and if it doesn’t have problems and doesn’t take off, buy it. I seldom buy ANYTHING below VF, but some early coppers I will. All my “greens” went higher than I wanted to pay, and on most I was the “back bidder”.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I did snag: An 1820 large date large cent - VF Upgraded my 1869 2-cent piece to a solid XF Filled a hole in my 7070 with a 1833 half dime in XF Did the same with an AU/BU slider 1889 dime.
