[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7935024, member: 105571"]Nice 1806. It's the C-1 variety consisting of Obverse 1 and Reverse A. Rarity 1. The primary pickup is the stemless wreath, the only one of the three varieties that year. Other p'ups are the small high 6, leaf centered below D and the large close 200. You didn't ask for it but I'll give you my judgement of EAC grade anyway: VF-35, net 30. A few circulation marks on both sides (none bad and none really distracting except the two on the cheek and nose) and a little bit of porosity on the reverse knock it down a tad. Now, how did PCGS grade this nice coin? They are sometimes generous and sometimes harsh with old copper and you just never know how they're gonna swing. But in this case, I'd say they called this XF-40. They might have said 45 if there was still even a hint of luster remaining, but no. Now, did CAC give it a green bean at a XF-40 grade? I'd say not. While it's a nice coin, I don't think they thought it was bean-worthy at that grade. Here's my version of the same variety. Even though it's an OGH, an example of PCGS over-grading at least by EAC standards. [ATTACH=full]1372528[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
