<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 622074, member: 13342&quot;]Wow! It looks like opinions on this one are all over the board. Regardless of the final consensus, I will mostly be sizing this coin up to see if it will fit in my type collection(XF or better). If inadequate, then I may send it out for a second TPG opinion before I sell it. I paid about $160 for it, so I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll lose much.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think the details are adequate for my set, but if the color is too funky in hand, it&#039;s going to bother me. For some reason I remember hearing that copper often forms an &quot;olive&quot; patina over the years, and I thought this look would fit into that category, as it definitely has splashes of various shades of olive. If cleaned or recolored, I&#039;d think it would be either a solid shade of chocolate brown, or have a more pink/hairlined hue. However, I am not an expert in early copper and I have overall put the least amount of money/effort into the copper portion of my type set...so feel free to enlighten me with your inputs! Just going by details though comparing this coin with several dozen Heritage dbhc&#039;s I&#039;ve looked at(I always spend hours viewing past Heritage auctions before purchasing), I think it has XF potential.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>thanks,</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
