Looks 45 to me, dipped and album toned. Pretty!
That's a really nice looking large cent! Pretty soon you'll be wanting more...
What a cool find! A set of coins that circulated in early America would include a very wide variety. A friend of mine found a 1R while detecting...
Here is my 42/41 D. you can tell from the position of the 4 relative to the right hand tip of the bust truncation that it is not from the same...
That's a very informative thread, and shows the subjectivity of grading, which is then marketed as objectivity.
I see no high point wear. However, it is impossible to judge luster from photos, in general. If it hasn't been dipped to death (DTD) then it may...

This arrived in the mail today. I have wanted a club rays Fugio for a while, but finding one with decent detail and no major planchet issues was...
Sounds like a fun project. Wish I could find one of those albums for less than moon money.
I agree- very pronounced roller marks from the metal strip being pulled through the draw station prior to planchets being punched. The worn dies...
Perfect 92-O half, treetrunktuber.
If the colors in the photos are accurate, I would pass.
Beautiful coin, I like how the toning "cameos" Franklin's bust.
From the photos, it looks to have been cleaned and retoned in an album. That's just my opinion, of course. EF details. fairly significant hit...
I think around VF30, I don't think the marks are severe enough to preclude a straight grade, after all it circulated.
Separate names with a comma.
