Description Greetings, fellow collectors! I am selling off some of my extras as I upgrade my collection. Thanks for taking the time to look at my auctions. Please take a look through my feedback and read all of the auction terms below before bidding if you're not yet familiar with my auctions. This auction is for: a scarce 1837 Coronet Head Cent grading very choice AU. Here's a high end AU that many would call Uncirculated. This was marked N-16 and plain cord when I purchased it. It has nice glossy chocolate brown surfaces and fewer than normal marks for the grade. There are a few very light rim bruises and a tick in the field obverse near star three that don't detract, mentioned for accuracy. The detail is sharp and about as full as can be expected for a large cent. A really nice piece to fill that empty hole in your high grade circulated set, and priced very fairly considering an AU of this quality runs $500 easily, so fill that hole in your set while it's still available. These early dates are becoming very difficult to find without major damage or heavily corroded, so grab this one before someone else beats you to it. The 1837 Coronet Head Cent in this listing IS A "RAW COIN" (NOT PROFESSIONALLY GRADED OR SLABBED). As usual, I FULLY GUARANTY THIS COIN TO BE GENUINE. I also guaranty that the buyer will receive the exact coin shown in the photos immediately upon receipt of payment in full. Thank you for looking and happy hunting! ALL COINS ARE GUARANTEED GENUINE. As my feedback attests, ALL COINS ARE CONSERVATIVELY GRADED AND PROBLEM FREE unless otherwise noted. AUCTION TERMS Because some items are offered for sale in other venues, I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end any auction early. GRADING AND PRICING I use ANA grading standards and interpret them based on photos in the official guide as well as 40+ years personal experience. Feel free to disagree with our grading and offer whatever you like. I post a large clear photo of each item we sell so I rarely have any returns. It is not possible to describe every mark on a coin so see the pic and email any questions before bidding. The goal is to avoid surprises. Any prices mentioned are for reference purposes only and are not meant to imply any guaranty grade or value of item elsewhere. Please check your preferred price guides before bidding. A word on SLABS: I have seen so many misgrades by the major grading services the past couple years, both overgraded and undergraded, that I have lost all faith in them and wonder why anyone would trust their opinion in the first place. And are the 'big boys' trying to tell us you can't get ripped off by buying a PCGS or NGC slab? Sure you can, IF you don't know what you're looking at! It seems to me that the very people they claim to be protecting are the ones most likely to be ripped off when buying their slabs! Why pay them a premium for what amounts to nothing more than a poor opinion at times. Sometimes I think they've been doing their grading at the local bar and grill at happy hour! Save yourself a ton of money and go back to enjoying coin collecting for what it is for- THE COINS! Learn to grade and stop paying for someone else's opinion. I have saved so much in the past 15 years since I stopped buying slabs that I have many more coins to show for my money now...

On Nov-20-08 at 15:17:51 PST, seller added the following information:PLEASE NOTE: Ebay has unilaterally decided that it has more say than I do in how I sell my coins and how I take payment, and I STRONGLY DISAGREE, so it is time for me to say goodbye to the ever more greedy and selfishly overbearing ebay supercorp. These will be my last auctions on ebay, I'm sad to say, so if you like this coin, buy it now, it won't be back on ebay... I wanted to also say THANK YOU to all the good people I have met on ebay. Thank you, my friends. If you want, keep in touch with me by email, the address is listed in every auction page, but here it is again: access1@centurytel.net. As many of you know, I love an intelligent conversation about old coins and their history, or just about anything, and have treasured our correspondence, so please stay in touch. FAREWELL, EBAY! Place a Bid!
