1851 N-3 51 over 81?

got this coin for 11.50. Not the greatest but maybe F detail? Looked like N-3 to me. Anyone else think so? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Circulated-...EMB%2FZREl4NYyLNa8E4s%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

thank you Rick. N-3?

 

I don't know anything on large cent, but someone will be here to help out ..

 

Kinda hard to tell, esp since I don't have my books here. But, it does look like the over date. If no one else chimes in before Monday I will look when I am in the office.

 

I can't disagree with N-3, but there are a few markers that I would like to see to confirm it. My gut tells me N-3 state a.

 

That spur on the second 1 looks like 1851/81 to me. I bet the die engraver face palmed when he realized he started punching the date upside down...

 

Something to compare with.

 

Sorry for the delay. From the pic's, I would say N-3, state A.

 

thanks for the replies
