1851 large cent normal date?

seller listed this one as normal date. I think its the 51/81 overdate. Not a great coin but for $13 its ok. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1851-U-S-L...tMz4457vLQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

It appears to be the overdate

 

I think that 1 alone is enough to say, YES but I don't see anything going on with the 5, but it may be too dirty to tell... ???? Does this make any sense?

 

I enlarged pic . I'm still not sure about the 5 .

 

the area around 5 is tough to tell from sellers pic. The dash right of 1 and very faint marks at top of 1 were my tells.

 

Sure looks like it.

 

I would buy it too . How much was it $13 ? Not Bad

 

13.67 shipped I think

 

Looks like a nice profit .

 

few bucks maybe. nothing earth shattering

 

Have you seen Ebay ? More than a few bucks .

 

I sold one on e-bay recently that was in much better shape. VF-30 ish for about $100. This one is barely VG and the price drops considerably between those 2 grades. $25 is about what I think it might be worth.

 

We will see ,if you decide to clean it up . Please post results . Thanks

 

The price is right, go for it. Good luck

 

Interesting find. They are out there if you look hard enough.
