Without a doubt; average scrilla.

why does your post say "average scrilla"?

Yea you know "average scrilla" meaning a nice au coin that looks to have had a cleaning or more specifically in your coins case been dipped either for too long or too many times. I would also like to note the green verdigris developing that can also be included in a "average scrilla" description........

I'm thinking exactly the opposite of your grading.....Yes, AU but I'm quite confidently saying never dipped/cleaned......nice original patina hence the green verdigris.... To the OP, very nice coin, would definitely come backed graded and not body bagged but the date is quite common so wouldn't spend the money.

Could be the photo but it just lacks the chocolate brown patina and looks white'ish....

the picture doesn't show it, but has a lot of mint luster left on coin. I have never been able to capture that in a picture

according to that the above poster is saying average scrilla is VG? if so that is interesting as this two center is definately above a VG grade, a blind man could see that.

EF to AU .. I'd say a bit of wear on the knot of the ribbon, but possible a weak strike..

That coin is a minimum of AU, corrosion spots aside. Darn nice coin.

 

[cosmic]

That is a AU or better ... SWEET !! The new pics shows the details ...

 

[cudamark]

I'd give it an AU50...maybe an old cleaning but nothing to detract from the value. Nice coin. Oh, and I agree with Greg, not worth getting officially graded.

 

[Goes4ever]

thanks everyone! I guess I have several votes for AU, sweet!

On a side note, handling a copper coin with your bare hands might leave salt residue, fingerprints, and the start of corrosion. I'd gently wipe it with a diaper or microfiber rag soaked in acetone and then apply something like Coin Care to help preserve and protect the coin from future damage.

Even in about uncirculated condition this coin can still be found for about $40-$75, so I would say nice old coin but don't get it slabbed. It's really not an investment coin so no reason for slab. But collectors will drool over the condition of that old hunk of copper. I only get coins slabbed that I either know they will get a ms-65 or up or the hobby is already going nuts over and people will invest in, key dates that are rare enough to warrant the pricey judging( like my 1914-d wheaty that scored a EF-45), I know if i ever part with it I'll get my slab fee and now what I paid for it back. wipe it off get it a acid free protector and cherish it forever
