<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eskychess, post: 94762, member: 4692&quot;]I just bid on 2 coins at E*Bay - a 1798 2nd Hair large cent and an 1812 large cent. Both coins appear to have great detail, but when I looked at the picture after my bid it appears there is some corrosion. I didn&#039;t expect the coins to be perfect, the gentleman selling them found them with a metal detector. My bid was around $195 ... Was I dumb to bid that hey?? The next closest bid was $165 ... there is still 4 days left on the auction and a lot of people have viewed it. Any comments even if they are bad are sure welcome. I violated my own rule, to not buy anything over $100 that isn&#039;t certified, but I&#039;m dying to have a 1700s colonial coin. Now I might get a corroded one. But I do see there is NOT much to choose from with a 1700s date on it. It&#039;s either worn to a pulp or in the multi-thousands of dollars? What does anyone else think?</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
