<p>[QUOTE=&quot;p wohn, post: 3201565, member: 98093&quot;]I just joined a few weeks ago and started reading these posts, so this is my first post/reply. I am a large cent collector. I&#039;m including a picture of my 1804, and was glad to get it after looking for over 2 years, bought it from an EAC member who was upgrading.</p><p>You asked what I would pay for it, in truthful terms-I don&#039;t have that kind of money.</p><p>CQR (18th edition) 04/30/06 [there are 1 or 2 later editions but CQR is no longer being produced]:</p><p>1804 S-266A (state A - Perfect Dies)</p><p>AVE- 5+ F15 $7000, VF-25 $11000, EF-40 $35000</p><p>Heritage auction 9/26/13 PCGS VF25 $8812 - with similar marks to yours but without the dig on obverse and not an error coin.</p><p>eBay (today 9/29/18) the Ruff/Ellsworth coin PCGS VF25 is for sale for $11900</p><p>Of the top 10 S-266&#039;s listed in Noyes book, only 1 is a 266A, all the rest are state B &amp; C and several of those are in the ANA collection in Colorado.</p><p>What would I pay for that coin if offered to me by an EAC member, that&#039;s a tough one, but only because I prefer large cents that are lighter in color - butternut is really nice in my opinion.</p><p>If you are in Dallas (assuming from your name), try and get the Heritage large cent guy to review it (MB). If you aren&#039;t you may want to send it to BG in Florida for his review and his little grading card he puts with it. And he keeps a census of large cents as well. I&#039;m only using initials for people as I don&#039;t know what the policy is regarding using people&#039;s names. If you know large cents, you know without a doubt who the above initials refer to.</p><p>The largest large cent eBay seller has a PCGS G6 for sale for $3950, and it is not near the coin you have. And he has over 30 large cents for sale over $10000.</p><p>So the price I would pay for your coin...see above![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
