gxseries Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 A strong XF, or Almost UNC, "thanks" to the wear on the reverse. I still can't imagine how this managed to survive 150 years of existance with some red leftover. Sad that the copper parasite is eating the surfaces And no, this time I didn't spend a bomb on this one *oops, forgot to add this paragraph* If you noticed, the crown or rather the rest of the text is slightly slanted from each other... I don't know if this is very common though... I'm again going to use the vodka factor to explain this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't imagine how this managed to survive 150 years of existance with some red leftover. Finding old copper with some red remaining is always special, so I share your pleasure with the coin. Here's one I picked up recently that you might like. The monogram die was in rough shape, but it has most of the original luster still showing under the toning.

gxseries Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I rarely get coins that are that XF+, forget red. The best I have are the two overstriked coins that I have: http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6348/1788pic3vl.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/6494/1793pic5rz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
