<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 369295, member: 12965&quot;]Howdy fellow coin peeps, :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have run across an interesting auction on Ebay. The seller claims his beautiful Draped Bust Large Cent is a certain variety which is Extremely Rare (R-2) with less than 10 known (R-7 is less than 10 known), yet the variety he claims his cent to be is Common (R-1 @ CoinFacts). I cannot confirm it to be the variety he claims it to be so I&#039;d appreciate some input from our Large Cent Guru&#039;s. :hail:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1798-SECOND-HAIR-STYLE-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-NR_W0QQitemZ130219924941QQihZ003QQcategoryZ11947QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1798-SECOND-HAIR-STYLE-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-NR_W0QQitemZ130219924941QQihZ003QQcategoryZ11947QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-SECOND-HAIR-STYLE-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-NR_W0QQitemZ130219924941QQihZ003QQcategoryZ11947QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I messaged the seller and this is what I said:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial"><i><a href="http://coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1798_large_cents/1798_large_cent_sheldon_174.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1798_large_cents/1798_large_cent_sheldon_174.htm" rel="nofollow">http://coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1798_large_cents/1798_large_cent_sheldon_174.htm</a> </i></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><i><br /></i></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><i>That says a 1798 S-174 is a R-1 because a R-1 is COMMON (see &quot;R&quot; stats below).
