Opinions on 1838 large cent

A little disappointed about not picking up some higher grade large cents at the show yesterday, I turned to eBay to see if I could snag something. I sniped this one at the last minute, 1838 Large Cent in possibly BU. I am not seeing any obvious issues with it. Thoughts?

Looks like a really nice coin. Looking forward to your images.

 

looks very nice to me. Not sure if it is BU or maybe high AU.

 

I'm thinking the same , high AU probably 58 , but with the luster it might market grade in the low MS . Sure is a nice looking coin , you picked a beauty .

 

Thanks, I thought the price was pretty fair for this one, even though 1838 is one of the most common years for the higher grade stuff for some reason.

 

Didn't they find a barrel full of large cents a long time ago , accounting for most of the higher end coins .

 

awesome coin.

 

Nice 1838 large cent!

 

looks to be an EAC-45 to EAC-50. Hard to tell without having the coin in hand. Nice looking coin, probably would TPG grade AU-58 at a minimum, and if the TPG's overlooked the few very minor rim nicks, perhaps a low MS grading. Nice coin and the price you paid seems reasonable.

 

Nice pickup based off the pictures.

 

Little something called the Randall Hoard. I believe most of the coins were from about 1816 to 1820.

 

Nice looking coin!

Jello, pictures don't seem to be showing up in your post.

The coin I got looks nice, I would think high AU but then again it is very difficult to grade by pictures. Can't wait to get it in-hand.

 

Seller photo are normality not what ya see.
I glad its better than photos seller showed

 

I didn't get the coin yet, but I'll be sure to let you know what it's like once I do.
