<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2591206, member: 21705&quot;]I just got outbid on a very nice Large Cent that I wanted badly.

I was having a problem because one advertised as XF45 and the finest known also had a week strike so lower graded examples actually looked sharper. The problem was compounded by the slight oif center strike which affected the strike at the obverse bottom (5 O&#039;Clock) and reverse top (12 O&#039; Clock). I suspect there is a slight rotation of the reverse based on the positions of the off center strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please chime in with any thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
