<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 125380, member: 2972&quot;]ANACS graded this coin VF 35.</p><p><br /></p><p>My thoughts on the coin are as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin exhibits a nice dark chocolate brown color and even wear on the high points.&nbsp; The strike is fairly good, given the middle to late die state (most visible in the weak dentils.&nbsp; There is actually just a touch of luster left in the hidden areas of the obverse and to a lesser extent the reverse.&nbsp; As is to be expected in a VF large cent, there are circulation marks and light dings in the fields and on the devices devices, but none are overly distracting.</p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS nailed the grade on this coin.&nbsp; It is in one of the new ANACS holders, and I am of the opinion that their grading for large cents has recently taken a turn for the better.&nbsp; I found the coin, of all places, on Teletrade and paid $90 for it.&nbsp; I&#039;m happy with the transaction, and the coin will remain in my collection (once it&#039;s broken out of the holder).</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to everyone who responded, I appreciate the comments and kind words.&nbsp; Take care...Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. it is a 1842 N-6 Large Date.&nbsp; The diagnostic humps in the field in front of Liberty&#039;s lips and behind her hair are barely visible on the coin, and not visible on the photograph.&nbsp; It was a tough one to attribute given the size of the photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
