    Greetings from snowy New Hampshire! Mintage 2,822,175 - Robert Scot design. I don't have a good eye for variety attribution - but I'm working on it - just curious if anyone has any comments / insights on this specimen - it's in a PCGS VG Details slab but I think it's clear enough (for someone with a better eye than me anyway).

    Love those old coppers...both Large Cent and Half Cent. I never had many Large Cents but had an extensive collection of Half Cents, including over a dozen uncirculated coins.

    I love your coin.
