Great looking cent; I'd love to own one just like it!
I think it grades a solid VF-20. I believe it needs more ribbing visible in the leaves on the reverse and more hair detail on the obverse for VF-30.

Thanks for the grading opinions. The seller was selling it as a VF but I paid Fine money for it. I was hoping for some VF opinions. Either way it looks good in my Dansco 7070.
Prethen, thats a nice 1813 Classic Head as well. Anytime you can get one of these with a good planchet your doing good regardless of the grade.

I just remembered that I got mine from Doug Byrd. My only concern is that I paid a pretty penny for it (excuse the pun!) for something that I doubt that the EAC would grade above choice-VG. I've been told that I would not be steered wrong by Doug though.

My first reaction was F-15, but this coin was minted almost 200 years ago under pretty archaic means and I could see a higher grade. Regardless, that is one very cool coin Jim. I love it!  |

Thanks Hadley. I based my purchase on a grade of F-15. I have heard EAC grading is a little more restrictive on the early coppers. Anyone no how this would grade per their standards?

Very fine 30 not out of the question, that is a super large cent. That Classic series is tough to find nice.

Man that is a nice one. No serious corrision or pitting. I looked long and hard before finding one with good surfaces for my 7070, but yours is a higher grade. VF-30 is my call. Congratulations!

Because of the rim wear I say VG. "Fine" in my book requires full rims.

Many of this series are struck weakly on part of the rim. Since the rim is strong except for one area of the reverse only above the word "OF" I believe that is just the strike, not wear.

Great planchet indeed, this is VF30 based on the cavemen's method in which it was made.

Not to mention the reject copper that the mint was getting from the United Kingdom.
