1871 VERY FINE Prince Edward Island One Cent

Description

If you make multiple purchases, please combine your purchases into one payment, thus saving me selling fees and enabling me to keep my prices low.
This New Brunswick coin is guaranteed genuine and as described. Please study the photos to be certain this coin will be an asset to your collection. Many Canadian coins have concave or convex sides, so there may be some uneven wear. The coin in the photos is the one you will receive with FREE SHIPPING!
For pricing, I've consulted the Canadian Trends and then adjusted the price downward to account for the difference in exchange rates as well as give everyone a break.
I feel my prices are fair to everyone, so I DO NOT accept lower offers.
I've been buying and selling coins for over 57 years and selling on eBay since 1998, so you'll be purchasing from a trusted dealer with many years of experience. My feedback rating is well above 17,200 positives, and I've had many repeat customers.
FYI: When I was cropping my photos, I noticed several coins that need new photos, so those coins have been "flagged" for new photos as soon as I have the time. Also, since almost all of my provincial listings are well over 100 years old, many have accumulated "dirt" or other debris. I have NOT cleaned anything off, and I'll leave that up to you if you want. I normally recommend NEVER CLEANING any coins, but if you choose to do so, here are a few suggestions: (1) Try soap and water and a soft brush. An old toothbrush should work. (2) Acetone (or nail polish remover) will remove nail polish, tape residue and many other substances, but be VERY CAREFUL with acetone as it's extremely flammable & can be explosive. (3) Corrosion can sometimes be removed with a product called (Mint State 70, known only by its initials which eBay will not permit me to use since it is named for certified grading) which is available at your nearby coin shop or online. (4) I'll admit that for a heavily corroded coin, such as an Indian Cent for which I cannot read the date, I've used an ink eraser or even sandpaper in order to read the date. Of course, I always am hoping the date is 1877, but no luck so far. One think about cleaning - if any of the patina or natural toning is removed, the coin become less desirable and therefore less valuable.  Questions? Just ask me.
