Gtg 1827large cent this a tough one. I wasn't sure when I sent it raw what pcgs would call it. The grade surprised me. straight pcgs grade

Au 55. Your pictures?

 

No my pics suck @geekpryde

 

Hahaha.. Yeah they usually do. Was thinking maybe you've been working on em.

 

AU 53

 

Very nice! this the type they called matron head?

 

No chance mine will ever be good. I'm a terrible photogapher. My girlfriend tho is good. I need to get her to image coins for me

 

Yes it is. This coin was found by a friend while dismantling an early house in Maine

 

That's awesome, mine is worn some. I think the purer copper was still being used, as on the previous series classic head. I read that's why they corroded or wore down so easily. nice score there

 

MS63

 

Xf45

 

EAC AU-50
PCGS AU-58

 

I'm also at MS-63, but surprised it did get a straight grade! The corrosion around "States" must look worse up close than in-hand.
Outstanding find!!!

 

I can't see any rub, so MS 63?

 

I don't see why people are missing the obvious circulation rub, which I have circled in the photo. If you look at the discolored areas, especially in the hair, you see where the design has been flattened a little.

 

Or is it a weak strike?

 

No, it is wear. This is how Bill Fivaz explained it to me:



I see the third type on the OP's coin.

 

MS62

 

55

 

Beautiful coin, Bill. AU50. But I bet they gave it a 55.
