<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4652001, member: 78244&quot;]For anyone wondering, this is an S-79, reeded edge cent. This example is among the finest known. The Dan Holmes VG sold for over $1 million in 2009.</p><p><br /></p><p>for me, since I collect ancient Chinese coins, I like high-grade large cents with a colorful patina. The colorful environmental encrustation on ancient Chinese coins is viewed the same way as bag toning on Morgan dollars. I certainly would not pay problem-free prices for such large cents, but I am in the vast minority that likes them like that. I think it’s preferable to a pitted brown surface. But when I sell, I have to expect the buyers to view the colorful encrustation as an ugly detractor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
