<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26404086, member: 101855&quot;]I have seen large cents that were cleaned, plated and had non precious stones mounted into their surface to make them into jewelry. They also had a hole, which this piece does not have. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1849 large date to 1857 half cents, excluding the 1852 which is a Proof only date, circulated very little. Unless they have been cleaned, it’s rare to see one in less than EF by honest wear. This one has been abused extensively. The 1851 is the most common date among the group, and dealers find that these coins are not “easy sells.” There is not much value here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
