I am attaching a couple of photos of one of my US coins. it has two small grooves on the front to the left of the head and a ding/dent in the back which removes some of the lettering. Looks very lustrous..... but I guess with the damage.. not worth much. Any information will be helpful. Best wishes Mike
Mike: It is an 1851 1/2 cent. Grade: about VF Value as a VF: $85. Value with the damage: anyone's guess. [ignored apparent cleaning.]
That's great thanks... didn't know it had been cleaned.. such is my ignorance.... certainly not since I have had it as I don't clean anything LOL... I am an antique collector!... Best wishes, Mike.
