    Alright, I think I got it down to either N9, N8, or N11.
    Was thinking it was N11 but I don't see the bottom of the S between the DS and I don't see an O between SO.
    Dot appears to be too big to be N9,
    Would be my guess it's N8, but just want to be sure....

    Also what do you think this would grade as? I'm very new with LC and am really bad at grading these.

    Anyone?

    1828 N8. The E in CENT leans left and the N in ONE leans right. Obverse shared by 8,9, and 11. Reverse is unique to the N8.

    Any guess as to it's grade?

    My guess to grade would be something like VF20 details or VF20/net VG8 for rough surfaces. Condition is a key to proper evaluation. Many, particularly on eBay, ignore the Details or Authentic labels which indicate condition problems and price them like no problem coins. Then they'll swear that the dealers are trying to rip them off. They're only half right if they get a bad dealer.

    But then again, I'm both a hard grader and easy mark for detail and damaged coins.

    ps The reverse would probably go a little higher on it's own.
