    Looks like a 1803 Large cent with a large date. I can’t tell if the 1 is blunt or pointed but I’m going either way pointed from your photo.
    Also difficult to tell from the photo but I believe it to be the large fraction variety.
    I would grade this as a G-4 and that's a $175.00 coin if I’m not mistaken.
    Very nice and the detail looks fairly clear but the photos are a little blurry. Hope I’m correct and I doubt it’s the small fraction variety.

    I think it might be an S-258 which is R-1

    Obverse surface looks corroded and scratched. They'll overlook some stuff on coins this old but I don't think they would on this one.

    surfaces are definitely not as smooth and nice as photo grade coins but I am not trying to get the coin graded and for $50 I think I am ok price wise.

    The reverse may be G-04 but the obverse is not, and that would average out to lets say AG-03.

    The coin has at least as much detail on obverse as the PCGS 4 coin does.

    Then don't ask for an opinion. It's my opinion that the obverse and the net grade is not G-04. I am not debating my opinion.

    you are free to voice your opinion but I don't have to agree with it. Go look on e-bay at all the G-4 graded coins and see what I am talking about.
