Hi guys,

Was browsing through ebay, and say what appeared to be a 1846 Large cent Fs#LG 1c-002.5 with UNC details, but probably a net grade of AU because it had been cleaned before. The pictures were crummy, but I took a chance and bought the coin for $95. I got the coin today, and I can confortably say that the coin is that variety. I include a picture of my coin so that you guys can see for yourself.




Also, got my 2004P DDO nickel back from ANACS, and it came graded MS-64 and they added "ALONSO DISCOVERY PIECE''. I think it is very cool that they added my name to the slab. Anyways, let me know what you guys think about the LG cent.

Thanks Bob. Im going to sell that large cent. According to CPG, it trends at $1,500 at VF, and mine will surely grade net AU.
