10.89 grams, Copper content

I took macro photos under white lights-- and added scans as well-- to try to show all aspects of the coin.
The scanner TIFF files are the ones that appear very flat and don't show any of the toning.
I've taken a couple of short videos to show how the coin looks in person. (They're posted at the bottom of the description.)

I'm not certain, but the coin may have been cleaned (properly or improperly) by the previous owner

I'm not a coin expert, so please feel free to ask questions or request more photos.

THIS
COIN IS SOLD AS-IS, no returns. All photos (and the links to the videos) show the exact coin being sold in this listing.
The shinier photos were taken with a macro lens (Canon R5, 35mm lens) under lights.
The flatter photos are TIFF scans taken with a CanoScan LiDE (Canon scanner) with the coin rotated to show different aspects.
Information about the seller
:
I sometimes use "Private Bidding" to shield the identities of my buyers, depending on the category of the listing. It's no one's business what you're buying on eBay. However, if you see one of my listings without private bidding enabled and want that implemented, just send me a message before you bid. If there are no other bids preventing me from updating the listing, I will be happy to toggle that option for you.
DO NOT
try to contact me outside of eBay to arrange a sale.
I will ONLY sell through eBay
. They handle the collection of state sales taxes and help me keep all of my sales numbers in one place for accounting purposes. I'm not interested in dealing with selling off-site for that and other reasons.
Non-Smoking household.
We have a Golden Retriever
(a big dog)
who sheds constantly, and his hair gets into
everything
.
If you're sensitive to pet hair, it would be best for you to steer clear of my listings.
I routinely sweep for dog hair while I'm packaging items, but I cannot reasonably guarantee a fuzz-free package.
USA SHIPPING ONLY.
USPS
Priority Mail with insurance included for the full value of the item sold. I will use eBay ShipCover insurance whenever possible, so you may not see an "insured" designation or the charge for that included on the USPS postage label.
I am unable to ship to the UK / Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) until after I've registered for a VAT account and familiarized myself with the new VAT collection requirements for non-UK sellers. The post-Brexit rules for non-UK sellers, including sellers based in the USA, took effect January 1, 2021. At this time, I cannot provide a timeframe for resuming exports to the UK.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, or if you see anything I need to correct in my listings. Sometimes I re-use a listing template and some of the information imported won't match. If you catch an error, I'd appreciate a heads up!
