I think it's a very nice old large cent.

 

I don't know about attributing these.

The odds are not in your favor, however.... NC stands for "Non-collectible." These varieties are very rare, and not often found.

 

Nice coin either way. I've got an '98 in similar condition

 

So NC stands for non collectible but they're very rare. Wouldn't that make them collectible?

 

No. The Non-Collectibles are all R7 or R8 - Some of them are unique (only 1 known), but the NC term was devised for marriages with less than 4 known. Sure, if you have tons of money and are very lucky, you may be able to collect them - but out of the entire pool of collectors, only 4 will own one. These are coins which are way out of the reach of all but the very most advanced collectors.

 

NC-1 is on the right in each photo.

 

very-very collectible, however it means that you ain't gonna find one.

Or be able to buy one with any regularity
