Hey everyone! I just acquired this 1817 (N15 R4/3) Large Cent and wanted you're opinions on it They're quite hard to find in this grade, so I'm glad I got mine cheap It has some light rubbing from wear on its high points, but other than that it has beautiful natural color
Ryan, How close is that picture the the actual color? The reason I ask is that the rub spots on the face are a suspicious color. I usually only see that color in a coin that has been messed with. I hope the camera just made them seem lighter then they are.
Like others, I have concern with the color. Setting that issue aside, the coin appears to have XF details. Nice coin for almost 200 years old! Congrats!
