what do you think?

sellers photos don't do much to help you evaluate the coin. Still, the surfaces have a rather mottled look that would ward me off. ((no copper expert here, just have my share of eBay scars)).

The reverse looks to have PVC,and corrosion.Save yourself some$$ and pass.

Hey Dooly, Great to see you posting on this side of the pond again. You may want to check some the members websites.Severeal have a large selection of Large cents. Give the forum a headsup as to what you need on the Money Marketplace and you will find a far more fair minded seller base than Ebay.

Again, great to hear from you.
