<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GenX Enthusiast, post: 4287148, member: 101075&quot;]Not so much a problem coin as an uninformed buy. I found this on craigslist, a couple of years back. In my defense, I had never seen a Large Cent before. It was part of a collection inherited and being liquidated, but the son shared the optimism of the new grader, so impossible to get him down from his sky high estimations, and I wasn&#039;t an expert or even amateur either. </p><p><br /></p><p>He wanted 60$ for this VF something large cent, turned out the reverse was damaged. The coin was probably worth the 18$ the father had on the 2x2, but I paid 40$, weighing the stupidity of that move against the possibility of future good buys, which never materialized. He had some seated halves and dollars that would be worth quite a bit, never got to see them... wish they would resurface.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still like the coin very much, as I did when I saw it, but best not to compare it to anything nicer. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091224[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1091225[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1091229[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1091231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1091226[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
