<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 8318565, member: 103207"]Large cents can be tricky to grade by pictures alone. The coin could be high AU or mint state. The copper alloy isn't the same as later flying eagle or indian cents. It much softer so it markr easily. Rim dings or small scratches are common on them. They are also very prone to corrosion, although they are no ware near as bad as the current Lincoln cents. Below is a picture of a 1857 cent from my collection.
