Post a large cent.

Sounds right Marshall. Thanks. I'm guessing on these. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Wow, an 1807 Comet! Cool!

 

What a beauty!!!!

It's just her "inner beauty" shining through!

The first one is half right. The Obverse is 1, but the reverse is B making it S-268. It is the scarcest of the three 1805 varieties (R3) and one I did not have in my collection.

The second one is correctly identified as S-270.

The third is actually 5-C rather than 1-A making it S-276.

 

I've met my match .

 

Here is mine. It is also the most valuable coin in my collection. We can track it with my family since 1810.

 

Nothing spectacular (especially the cell phone pics), but just a few I picked up yesterday in Vegas:
A decent 1798


A worn but not too bad 1803

NICE! All Mint struck 1804s are S-266. However, this one die is broken up into subcategories as the dies deteriorated and this is the most desirable of the three categories S-266b and rated R5. The obverse Rim break above RTY taking it from the a (R4) category into the b category, but before a rim break above MERIC develops taking it into the c (R2) category.

Breen breaks category a into two die states so it is Breen die state III.

Since all CC examples have changed hands numerous times and this has been in your family for 200 years, I'd try to have it cataloged by Noyes. I'd guess it's XF plus or minus even by EAC standards. With the XF State III in the ANS collection. This may be the best available b.

 

Very nice one...gbroke...

I was looking at an 1807 small fraction today but wasn't sure about the grade. The lighting and those plastic flips make it tough to judge condition.
The price was/is 70.00 which I suppose it a good price as it is good..

 

Wow Marshall. That is some great information. I am very unfamiliar with large cents. All I did know was someone mentioned die state 3. Thank you for the education. I will make note if it and research 'noyes'.

 

I'd start a search for Noyes with EAC (Early American Coppers, Inc.)

 

A very nice coin gbroke. A true family heirloom.

A scarce coin, and rare in that die state. Congratulations!

 

My common additions..

Granted these are common and the photos are not that great but here are 2 of mine.
1845 and 1848 would like some thoughts on grade if the photos are okay to view. The 1845 does also exhibit a slight rotated reverse and I mean slight, but noticeable. These were taken outside in natural, albeit cloudy light...

Here is the 1848

 

I recently purchased an 1804 large cent and am still learning about them. The die state you referenced; does that refer to the die crack (?) between 12:00 and 1:00 on the obverse?

Also, which variety is this? Is it a small date, small fraction / large date, small fraction / small date, large fraction / or a large date, large fraction?

 

I like the 1850~~

 

my best details classic head 1814 S-295.
