Here's one of the Large Cents I had graded.

It's an 1836 N-4

40, nice sharply struck coin

 

Nice looking coin...that's how they should look after all these years. Out of my expertise, but I venture EF.

 

I think they only gave it a 30 because of the nicks and rusty die.

I would venture to say XF details, that's where the reverse porosity comes into play.

 

Xf-40

 

Reverse roughness would have me net grade the coin, and it would not surprise me if it were in a details holder.

That said, I guessed a silent net grade of XF 40.

 

I went with the XF Details both due to the reverse porosity and the color which to my eyes looked a little too even for a circulated coin. Not my specialty by any means, but its my guess.
