<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 7985063, member: 21705&quot;]A note about Values of Early Date Large Cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because they are made of copper, they are softer and more susceptible to corrosion and the elements. Therefore, most would have a minimum of Environmental Damage and Details listed by a TPG. Straight Graded examples are far less common than with Silver or Gold coinage. They therefore command a very significant premium when they are straight graded. And these are the ones listed in the price guides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most coins we would consider decent examples would not straight grade and are discounted by 50% to 90% from straight graded examples. It&#039;s very common to see a problem coin offered 20% to 50% below book and have sellers think that is sufficient.</p><p><br /></p><p>Such is life with early copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
