1798 large cent

Picked this one up last night. Thought the color and surfaces looked pretty decent for $77. S-170 is my guess?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1798-Large...NO%2FEOic51OgYrqTOlqM%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Nice looking old cent.

 

Looks like a pretty good guess.

 

Very nice buy. I would've expected a higher price, but i am no expert on the series.

 

Nice pickup.

 

Nice. Love the cracks on the reverse

 

Cracks? The S-170 doesn't have cracks on the rev. The link posted in the OP no longer seems to be valid. I've just tried it twice now and both times it took me to completely different coins that one it went to Wednesday. (Both of them were 1798 S-166 which does have an impressive rev crack.)

 

Thats strange. When I click on the link it is the coin I bought.

 

Same here. I don't see the original coin posted to the thread.
Maybe post the coin when you receive it @jerryc39

 

Here are the sellers pics.

 

Help me find the die crack. I could use the help. Is it by the O and N on one and E in cent

 

Link no longer works... Good luck with your acquisition... Check it out with an EAC forum when you get it....

 

no die cracks on this reverse.

 

This is what the link leads to...

At the top it says the original listing is unavailable and this is a similar one.

 

I posted pics of coin earlier

 

Hi kentucky. I see the crack now. Thanks. I can put that last coin to bed. Got tired of looking

 

Sometimes when I click the link I get the coin Kentucky posted and sometimes I get this one. (Same variety S-166)
