This coin I just bought this morning looks like it could be N-22 by the date position. Pics are not good as they are taken at an angle....
hard to believe this story.
this got off topic quickly.
and some of the years have 40+ varieties!! Grellman's book helps a lot but it takes practice to use it.
was hoping others would have chimed in with their opinions too.
1854 looks like N-2 R-1
1853 N-13 R-1
1852 looks like N-17 R-1
1851 looks like n-6 r-1
looks like 1850 is n-15 r-2
I would think they would fix the error yes.
Date position was my first go to. As far as early vs late die stage there are lines on reverse that are visible early but not in late stage.
Going with N-20 late die state on the 1849 R-1
1848 looks like N-35 which is R-2
looking closer at reverse I see some lumps on the E in cent that are in the right spots. Also a faint line connecting the top and bottom of same...
this is a tough one. I am not sure this is a tall date. With the date position and repunching under the one it looks like N-5 to me but I cannot...
the date position and those lines on the reverse by MER gave it away
N-5 which is R-1 rarity
gotcha.
$5 is cheap price but what's the end goal on these crippled cents?
