KurtS Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 I ran across this coin today, and the asking price made me wonder...what should I be looking at in these large cents? Granted, this photo isn't the best, but is there a way to determine reworked surfaces/finishes? Since I'm a total newbie, I've ordered the book "Penny Whimsy" so I can educate myself. In the meantime, here is the cent in question: (photos taken down due to security issues) Thanks for your experience and insight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 IMHO AG-03 net, but with F details. It is the pitted and porous surface that determines this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Thanks...that helps me understand why I didn't have a good sense of overall condition. I began to wonder if the hair was reworked to bump up the grade. Over time, I'm sure I'll get a feel for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
