I didn't have an 1834 Large Cent so I went after this one. I ID'ed it as an N-1 variety (someone please check me on that). And I've decided that I want XF or better Matron Head Large Cents from now on. And that also means that I'll have to bend that in some cases (1821 and 1823 quickly come to mind.) Also because of the prices, "XF or better" really turns out to be mostly XF with maybe a few in AU.
nice one, I have a few, raw of course I got them years ago, Two that i just located: 1848 XF 1831 VF some others but lower grades
