Hey everyone, I picked up a few nice large cents and would like your opinions on them as I am not familiar with grading coins this old. A few of them are in pretty bad shape, one is corroded (1848), and another has someone's initials carved into it (1822). Here are pics of the first two, an 1819 which appears to be a small date variety, and an 1846 which appears to be a tall date variety. Let me know what you think! THANKS! J
I love these old coppers, and have a bunch in lower grades similar to yours. I would guess in the G to VG range, probably cleaned at some point in time... but just the way I like 'em! Very affordable pieces of history. Thanks for posting!
