New Coin #2 - 1818 Large Cent, N-10 - NGC-AU58 BN

I think I ID'ed the variety correctly.
I particularly like this coin because of the 360° obverse die crack.

Glup...uh, I mean gulp

 

Like large cents but this one particularly even more!!.

 

Yowza!

 

IMO, the hints of red suggest “hints” of cleaning on a 200+ year old, lightly circulated coin. It should be fully oxidized. That said, I don’t really have a problem with the straight grade because hey, it’s a neat old copper and as long as the surfaces are stabilized, then why not? Just don’t expect a CAC sticker.
For the record tho. I still like it.

 

When folks ask about liking die cracks, this one is amazing. Love this coin.

 

That's a beauty!

 

Nice!

 

Almost certainly from the Randall Hoard. Mine is the same date and same die crack. Neat coin.

 

Gotta love the 18 N-10 almost of them have that die crack. I have to admit though that I'm a little more partial to 1820 N-13, another Randall hoard coin.

 

Got to love the crack

 

Nice pick up John hope to see you next show.

 

Nice pick up

 

fwiw - here's mine. In a Dansco album, not sending in for grading since I suspect it would be details coin (cleaned).
