Good afternoon! I don't have any large cents because they aren't my interest, but I found this one at a really good price and could not pass it up. The first set of pictures are not very good, but those are how I received it. The next set are after a bath in acetone. In case you wondered, $35 is what I gave for it.
Very nice coin, especially for $35. A lot of contact marks but at 207 years old you have to expect it. I'm a lot younger and I have a lot of things going on on my face too. Congratulations on a great restoration job and a nice addition to your collection. Bruce
So having some fun I ran this coin thru chatgpt. Just having some fun if you do not mind. So it called it fine details - which I cannot argue against - I would probably say VF net F. So then I asked it for the newcomb number. It came back with N-8 - so I said this is actually an N-1. Chatgpt came back with this - You are correct to push back. You can see the response below. So then I asked it about the lower T in cent for reverse attribution.
That is very interesting! Of course, I don't mind. I had not even noticed the "T" in "CENT." While I find large cents interesting, I just never had an interest in getting started. I like overdates though, which is why this one caught my eye. It had enough details to be aesthetically pleasing, so I thought, why not? Thank you for help in attributing in! I find arguing with and correcting AI to be rather funny.
LOL - it is a blast. I just asked for the morgan vam on my 1879 CC coin. It was like vam 3. I said nope this is Vam 1 - where do you get your vam attribution list. It said you are corrrect(doh - I know that). Then it said I leaned to heavily on the placement of the CC. It uses vam world and works by Van Allen and George Mallis. Kind of funny - I asked why it did not use all characteristics. It said it should, but it used a shortcut. Too funny - some of the answers.
