[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1257603, member: 26302"]I agree with Guy, the surfaces are very important. This old copper was very prone to corrosion. I also agree with him that this will nto be an easy, "go to a coin show and buy it" most likely. These are true collectible coins, and their conniseurs will buy everything that is pleasing to them. This coin, more than many, exemplifies that what you want to buy as a collector is exactly what is NOT in the coin stores. This is because they have already been bought by another. I think this would best be served by telling a good dealer exactly what you want, and let him find one. He sees many more coins than you ever will, and will have a better shot of getting "fresh" coins than you. This is why I advise people to buy these and large cents. They are classic collector coins that will be unaffected by what PM does, and are somewhat overlooked right now, but still hard to find a good one. Chris Edit: Tbh, I don't collect US anymore, but if I were to buy any US coins, it would either be one of these or a high grade Bust or SL half that could make me do it. I simply find them that interesting. Edit2: Sorry, maybe I agreed with Cole, heck I agree with Coleguy![/QUOTE]
