[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 593184, member: 17557"]Man, this looks like a proof! But 42 S's were not proofs, or I do not believe so... This coin has been polished, or something to brighten the coins appearance, so some sort of cleaning, and it is badly dinged, and has some rim damage... I say 8 cents might have been a good price, if you think it is a good price... There is a difference between UNCIRCULATED and POLISHED This one should have been a little more obvious, with the mirror like finish, on a circulating coin Next time you go to the dealer's 8 cent bin, look for one with good detail (Jaw and Cheek not separated and FULL LINES IN WHEAT STALKS) It doesn't have to be a bright red, it can be brown, and you could have an AU with those details, I told you to look for Bring the RedBook in with you next time, and make sure you know exactly what you are buying It seems you are buying a lot of things on impulse, but by now, if you would have just waited, through everything, you would have saved up near enough money to get a very nice coin, graded, and all.. Be careful with buying, and stop being so hasty (I know what I'm talking about, I sued to be this way) Just be patient, and the right coin will come along[/QUOTE]
