<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 25542312, member: 8959&quot;]I can assure you, you did not get &quot;hosed&quot;. One can however argue you did pay about $80-$100 above what I would have paid, and I have been collecting early coppers for a long time. I do not collect slabbed coppers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The surfaces are a bit rough, but that, and much worse, is the norm, not the exception. You have plenty of detail as well. Grade is about F15-VF20, but an EAC person would net grade around VG10 to F12. My very old (2011) copper prices guide&nbsp; indicates a price of around $300-$400 for an 1810 in that grade and surface condition.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, there are 5 different die pairings (varieties) for 1810. These are Sheldon die pairs S-281 to S-285. None are rare, with the exception of S-284 which can be considered scarce. S-281 is the overdate variety. In fact, 1810 is considered a rather &quot;dull&quot; date as far as Classic Heads is concerned. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have these examples in my collection. Yours is much better. I paid about $185 for the top one about 10 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1636055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1636056[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
