1846 Large Cent.grade And Opinions Please.

Thank you all... As always, I appreciate it.

I know these are faked, but the hanging '6' in 1846 and a number of other detail matches made me confident in this one.

I bundled this coin with some silver crown coins and I'm pretty pleased with what I paid...finding any large cents in Italy is very uncommon. There are loads of Morgans and Peace dollars and some heinously over priced Barber coinage, but few cents seem to have made it here.

Thank you all again.

the last two photos I'm betting are more like the coin in hand and show more wear than first ones. I cant get this coin to AU. I'm at XF45 and have a concern about the dig on the rev rim at K5. it may be PMD

I'm still at 53, nice separation of ear and the hair curls.

Thank you all very much. Under better magnification the die cracks on this coins are really pronounced. Looks like the die was nearing the end of its run.

It may have been cleaned, if so, much of the toning remains around the legends and relief.

I appreciate everyone's opinions on this coin.

Anyone think this may come back cleaned? Or is it worth submitting with a likely straight grade?

Does it still look the same after 3 years?

this is a decent LC especially since it was found outside the US. its a nice XF45. great find Roma

Roma there are three varieties of the 46. your is the small date. i'd say it has a shot at grading straight. the value of the coin if it would, would be in the $140-150 slabbed retail range at XF45. if your intent would be to send the coin to NGC or PCGS, unless you have some vouchers, would chew up the most of the value. she is a good candidate for a verdicare bath and an airtite holder
