[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1635640, member: 22585"]Well, here is my opinion on it, for what it's worth. First off, it appears to have F-15/VF-20 details. That would make the value not high enough to cover the certification costs. Now, that's [I][B]if[/B][/I] the coin is problem free. To me, it appears it has been cleaned and/or taken a light polish. An early copper with that wear shouldn't have that look to it. It seems glossy to me. Some of the surfaces look to smooth to be all original circulated wear. I also don't know if those marks across the obverse would be considered damage. I am far from an expert and have upwards of 4 FE's in my collection, but that's my first opinion. -greg PS: I asked about scan vs. image because that helps me to interpret the coin color, luster and wear better.[/QUOTE]
