No. The Non-Collectibles are all R7 or R8 - Some of them are unique (only 1 known), but the NC term was devised for marriages with less than 4...
Well, since it isn't and never was an actual cent, you actually wasted the full $250. If it was an altered date of a genuine coin, you would...
Dude, if someone seriously offered you $800+ for that, take the money and run.
I can't make out the last digit in the date in your pics. I'm assuming in hand it is clear. If you can't make the last digit out, then its...
Anyone who bids on that is an idiot. I don't even feel sorry for them losing their money.
Good start. Look also at: the date, the headband, the hair details, the dentils, all lettering, the stars, the eagle's head, the eagle's wings,...
I don't know about attributing these. The odds are not in your favor, however.... NC stands for "Non-collectible." These varieties are very...

As it turns out, you won't get a different answer posting it in 4 different subforums on two different sites. I believe you have gotten the same...
Where is the scratch on that first one? Not being familiar with the design, I'm not seeing it. The cleaned ones are all fairly obvious,...
Sure. But first, compare the coin in the OP to this genuine example (graded 63, from the Heritage archives, sold for $282k), and tell me what...
Clearly split serifs, strong doubling, and nice rounded secondary image.... I'd say you definitely hit the jackpot here. Nice pair of DDOs.
The streaky starburst pattern is characteristic of a very late die state. It strikes a bunch of coins, and the metal movement wears on the die....
The key date isn't a tell. There are plenty of raw key date coins. Just because it is a key date means absolutely nothing. There are about a...
I could tell the coin in the OP was fake immediately. To those who didn't, and gave it a grade.... might be time to look at some more genuine...
Post mint damage. Worth a cent or less.
