There seems to be obverse die markers telling the difference between a circ. strike and a proof. Any pics?
I think it’s cleaned. There’s a “halo” effect around the devices which is seen on many cleaned coins. The absence of luster also catches my attention.
Nice large date large fraction! There’s only one die pair possible and that’s S-265.
Thanks. What’s a good resource for specific obverses and reverses?

I would rather suggest PCGS Coinfacts. Much more information.
I’m interested! Maybe those will go up for sale...
Let me guess. 121b and 121b. Nice coins! One thing our coins have in common is a weak reverse and a strong obverse. That’s not a coincidence. The...

Awesome half cents! I feel like half cents don’t have as many varieties, but are overlooked and worth trying to cherrypick.
Hey EACers, do any of you collect/cherrypick half cents?
Yeah, EACs are fun and large cent listings on Ebay are a goldmine. Maybe some day I’ll start picking Liberty Caps as well. Also half cents might...
PCGS and NGC tend to be lenient on early coinage. I'd say it's a solid FR-02. There's two thin scratches on the obverse, but considering how old...
It arrived! Aaand... It’s a gripped edge. Not that I’m complaining. 1797 is still a better date for large cents. S-121b is still an R-3 - an...
Right now? EAC. I just picked a 1797 Large Cent that could be a rare S-121a. Usually I’m interested in obscure scarce Seated coins, Liberty gold,...
Wow. When @TypeCoin971793 discovered one in 2014, there were around 15 known to exist. Since then that number has increased to about 25, and...
Cleaned and retoned IMO. Has a decent chance at straight grading.
You are correct! It is an S-121. Will the edge be plain or gripped? We’ll find out soon!
I don’t know yet. Let’s hope for a plain edge! And you are correct on the variety.
