Yes, If you look at the 39n9 I linked too you can see two additional die cracks extending from the tip of the coronet. 100% no, it is not a cud....
That is an 1839 N9, which is a common variety. I don't see any cuds, but you should keep an eye out as they can be quite valuable. My guess on...
I cherried an 1854 n30 large cent, 14th known of the variety. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
It generally lowers the value, which would you prefer to have, a sharp AU50 or a weak AU50?
If I collected them, and I had a dealer I trusted I would. Let's put it this way, the whole game is about trust. To simplify let's only consider...

I can't see the pictures, work filter, but I would contact the seller and request to return them if you are not happy. I have returned a couple...

I have around 50 large cents listed on ebay with a nice mix of early, middle, and late dates. Most are lower grade:...
I thought you were joking, but based on the additional response I guess not. Do you have any idea how much work it would take to shill bid on...
No offense meant, but given the low price of the item I find shill bidding even less likely. Risking a major ebay account with 77,000+...
Looks like an S24 to me, an R1. It's one of the early head of 94s, and that shape of the first lock of hair under the liberty cap is distinctive,...
It is amazing isn't it! And it realized $5k+ at auction. Here is another one from that sale, an 1800 which realized $14k+:...
There are large cent brockages as well. The Dan Holmes errors had a few: http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=1&sale=60&lot=396
I agree with medorama completly about under $20 and over $1,000 coin pricing. By the time a dealer has bought, inventoried, priced, and listed...
