This one has more detail than some recent coins I have posted. Surfaces although not pristine don't look too bad.

Not too bad at all for its age, thanks for sharing.

 

It has its wear/ tear but in overall nice example. Looks like a small date, Large fraction if I'm not mistake. 1803 Draped Bust Large Cent Small Date - Large Fraction Early Copper Penny Coin Value Prices, Photos & Info

 

The surfaces are a bit rough, but I think it's a straight grade VG.

 

I don’t see a straight grade for this piece, but I can see someone paying thin VG money for it.

 

I'm thinking VG-10/F-12 details. May be considered minor environmental damage but could just as easily straight-grade.

 

I was thinking small fraction.

 

I like the large cents regardless of condition (unless very poor) and started collecting them after a gentleman remarked about their historical significance. He said of the later dates possibly being in the pocket of some young soldier going in to battle during the Civil War. After visiting several battlefields (Antietam, Manassas) that really made an impression.

 

It took me over five years to complete a Fine and above Large Cent Collection. Completed in 2022. Thank goodness because the prices today are outrageous. Good luck to those who are still compiling a set.
