Message:: [QUOTE="aaronea, post: 1990369, member: 72100"]Well it is really had to tell from your images but I think what you have there is a Variety II, that in essence means the “7” does not touch the bottom of the bust, so that actually makes it a large 7 not a small.  The Large 7 is pretty common. You need the “7” to touch the bottom of the bust to make it a Variety I and thus a small 7 as far as I know. It appears to me to be a Sheldon 273 variety. Again, it’s hard to say from the photographs.  I also can’t see the 7 over 6 in the photos, so I’m just guessing it’s there. As per the condition, I would say it’s probably G04-G06 details because the Liberty is pretty solid in the images even if the date is half worn. The reverse looks to me like a small fraction, but I’m not aware of any 1807/6 small fractions (I’m not saying they are not out there, just that I haven’t seen one). As per value, IF it is a 1807/6 Large 7, I would say $25-$50.  I don’t know if the rotation adds to the value because I think damn near all of my large cents (Pre-1820 are rotated to some degree). If it is a Small 7, I would send it off and get it graded because I wouldn't pay the high price of one of those unless I knew it was legit, and I assume most people feel that way. I'm not an expert by any means, I just really like US Large cents and have many myself.  That is just my thoughts, I hope it helps somewhat.[/QUOTE]
