I'd like to see the top middle ribbon better but I think it is VF30

How much is it worth?

 

Have you ever seen me with a Grey Sheet to pull out a price. Go ask Hobo or Arizona Jack

Ruben

 

Haha now that I think about it... Hopefully they check out this thread.

 

anyone with a greysheet?

 

I'd call it an F12 due to shield line detail. Decent motto detail but WE weak as usual.

Will point out that 1866 is a much tougher date than most people realize. Don't believe me? - try finding decent examples.

Concerned about the reverse on this one though. What's with the "chalky" areas?

Value? Gonna give a big spread here. $15-20.

Greysheet ask on F12 is $19 BTW.

 

Thanks Clems

Just out of curiosity what would it go for at VF30?

I realy like the design of the 2 cent but very raerly see them over this side, here is my one and only example

 

I figure $25-30.

 

VG/F -- If you paid around $20, you did fine.

 

Sick I got it for $10!!

EDIT: Just looked at the rest of the thread and saw $19... still a good deal!!

 

I think you did fine for $10.

The surface looks a bit corroded. Is that the case?

 

Nice coin (& good value at $10)!!!

See, you can find nice, problem-free coins in this price range. You just have to be patient....Mike

 

Very nice 2-cent piece. I have always really liked those. An excellent first from the series.

 

Maybe light verdigris on the reverse, but nothing major.

 

That SENTENCE IS AN OXYMORON! :hammer::hammer:

 

Not really if you have ever seen heavy verdigris compared to that wispy kind.

 

either way it needs to be treated, if it hasn't already because it is an active chemical reaction.
