After years of hunting I finaly got one :D

Not the hardest coin to find but Under $200 ain't easy
1857 Large cent!! can't wait to get it in hand for a proper ID, will probably end up cracking it/sending it for regrading with proper Newcomb number on the label and maybe an actual grade even a "details" grade with a bit of luck. (that would mean probably NGC or even ANACs)

Cool coin! Congrats

 

Nice, as you know, I have been looking for a nice one for a long time

 

The dealer I went through had another for I believe $195 but in this case I liked the cheaper one.

Seller was Northern Nevada coin. If you like I will forward you contact info for them

 

Nice pickup and congrats on ending the hunt, btw it's an N1 large date.

 

TY thought it was N1 but was waiting till I had in hand to be sure

 

Congrats.
I like your coin because it is part of a short set (1839-1857).
I like sets that I can reasonably expect to complete in my lifetime (and at my age there ain't much of that left).
That's why I never got into the Seated Liberty and Barber sets.
