<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 1845110, member: 34720&quot;]Nice coin! It&#039;s definitely got some wear/corrosion to it.. but a beauty never the less!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a novice to Large Cent varieties... however... I&#039;m learning more and more each day. After carefully examining your coin, and comparing it to the Heritage Auction coin varieties, I think I have it narrowed down.</p><p><br /></p><p>1st... It&#039;s definitely a Style II hair. That tells us that it has to be a Sheldon S-165 and higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd...The 8 looks very narrow/small. If that is correct, that narrows us down to a S168-187.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since there appears to be no markings that I can see on your coin to help in assistance, I went solely based on the Liberty position to the Hair on the Obverse, and the Lettering with leave and berry position on the Reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I narrowed it down to either an S-185 or an S-187. Based on the characteristics I could see, my opinion would be it&#039;s the S-185 (Style II hair - Small 8 - R2).</p><p><br /></p><p>Again... I&#039;m a novice.. so I&#039;ll be curious to see the input of the pros (such as Marshall and Condor to name just a few on this site!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
