[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 304159, member: 2972"]Tough to be sure which with a coin in this condition, but if you take a closeup of the date I can take an educated guess. There are 45 varieties of 1848 large cents, IIRC. Unlike the earlier dates, these Braided Hair large cents are very difficult to attribute due to the minute differences between the varieties. They are attributed, generally, by the positoin of the date (which was punched by hand unlike the rest of the die) and die polish lines (which are likely not visible in a coin in this condition). That said, I'd net grade the coin Fine 12. Cool coin, regardless, and thanks for sharing...Mike[/QUOTE]
