    Hello everyone. Next up is a
    1851 Braided Hair Liberty Head Large Cents : 51 Over 81 ?

    Need clarification on the date the 5 seems a bit wonky. What do you all think? As always thank you in advance.

    I don't see anything that indicates it being a 51/81. Just looks like a nice problem free large cent to me.

    What condition/grade would you say it's in approximately?

    IMO, obverse, VF35, reverse, VF30. I'll say VF30.

    Here's a photo of the 51/81 overdate:

    I think a generous grader would give it a VF 35

    Thank you. As a novice collector I sometimes get a little paranoid that I am missing some type of error lol.
