[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2169879, member: 66"]In the first pictures the point of the leaf below the C in AMERICA was left of the center. That eliminated 281 and 282. On those the POL is below the center of the C. On the new pictures the point of the leaf is definitely past the right side of the second S in STATES. (In the first pictures I couldn't tell if it was at the edge, past the edge or well past the edge.) The POL below the F was below the center of the upright of the F. And the POL between the F and A is right of the center of the space but not real close to the A. 285 has the POL below the right edge of the S, to the left of the center of the upright of the F, and below the center of the space between F & A. So it was out. On 283 the POL is a little past the right edge of the S, left of center of the up right of the F, and almost reaching the A in AMERICA. The positions of the last two convince me it isn't 283. On 284 the POL is definitely past the S, below the center of the upright of the F and past the center of the gap but not close to the A. That matches the positions I see in the pictures. None of the 1810 varieties are rare. 283 is the scarcest and it is only an R-3. As a general rule in large cents there isn't usually a premium value until R-5. That's one of the nice things about putting together a set of Classic head large cents, NONE of the varieties are rare. On the bad side, as a rule they don't come nice. Even high sharpnes grade coins tend to be rough and porous. Problem free coins in any grade are hard to find.[/QUOTE]
