New Large Cent pickup, what would you grade it?

Hi guys,

picked up a nice Large Cent over the weekend. This one has some attractive toning and great details with minimal wear. My guess would be mid to high AU. The luster is a little hard to capture for some reason, I'll work on shooting it again alter.

What would you say?

Surfaces look slightly granular may be the pics as to wear I'd say au-58 just see the slightest sign thought it was ms brown at first glance

 

From ricks pics I'd say au-58 bn and worth getting graded cleaner fields than many low grade ms examples

she is nice, isn't she

 

yes, yes she is

 

She's a pretty coin I got a pretty 1853 myself my best late large cent I love all them big penny's the earlier the better

 

These pics are probably a little better...

 

Au-58,all the way a slight rub away from ms 64 bn a beauty of a coin!!

 

Grainy surfaces appear to be as made likely thd planchet or alloy

 

It's a beauty, though I did pay a good sum for it...do you think it's worth grading?

 

Absolutely as far as I can tell from the pics unless it's porous enough to get an enviro details grade is hard to tell the surface quality from the pics but if it looks clean in hand absolutely send it in

 

As it stands right now, what do you think the value would be?

 

I'm sure it was a lot less then my ms-64 1853 tho cause its pcgs 64 red

 

Tough call not seeing in hand a guesstimate $200-250

 

Is a well struck coin with great eye appeal too a big plus some are kinda lame this one pops

 

Not bad, I picked it up for $150 on ebay. I think it is the most I have spent on a single coin, now. I really like the toning and color on it. Comparing it to other AU examples, I agree with you that this one has a bit more appeal.

 

Is definitely a slider why I'd send it in you might get lucky and they call it unc I'd say on the worst day they'd grade it au -55 and I've seen coins with a lot more wear called 55

 

I paid $1035 for my 1853 I wanted a late date large cent in true red same auction I bought my 1795 flowing hair dollar most I ever spent on coins at an auction actually been kinda quiet ever since

 

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but does this coin show any signs of recoloring? In-hand I'm not really picking up on old cleaning marks, but I want to hear others opinions as well...
