Bench warmers (AU-UNC) are OK, but sometimes I see things that "just need bought" like these 2 LCs that I just picked up at the post office this morning. I paid 20 dollars for both. I dig so many that are basically shot ... that I can hardly resist a decent large cent for 10 dollars. I figured since one is an 1851, I could share a couple "players" with you all. Chance   |

Question:
Is it just me, or is the date on my 1850 LC smaller than everyone elses? Moe, that 1850 you have not only has a small date but the head is smaller also. Anyone got answers for this one? Didn't know 1850 had large and small dates. |

amida17, Moe's coin looks real and not only the date is smaller but so is the head. Looks more like one from 1840-43. The coin discussed in the other thread is no doubt a counterfeit. This one has me stumped. Does anyone have a Newcomb book to check dies on this one? Here's the list of die varieties but I don't have photos to check to. Newcomb 1 - Common Newcomb 2 - Very Common Newcomb 3 - Very Common Newcomb 4 - Very Common Newcomb 5 - Very Scarce Newcomb 6 - Very Common Newcomb 7 - Common Newcomb 8 - Delisted Newcomb 9 - Common Newcomb 10 - Delisted Newcomb 11 - Scarce Newcomb 12 - Very Common Newcomb 13 - Very Scarce Newcomb 14 - Very Scarce Newcomb 15 - Common Newcomb 16 - Delisted Newcomb 17 - Very Scarce Newcomb 18 - Very Scarce Newcomb 19 - Common Newcomb 20 - Very Rare Newcomb 21 - Common Newcomb 22 - Very Scarce Newcomb 23 - Common Newcomb 24 - Very Rare Newcomb 25 - Very Scarce Newcomb 26 - Rare Newcomb 27 - Rare Newcomb 28 - Scarce I think I've been had by Moe. The obverse of his 1850 looks like a Half Cent, The reverse photo is a Large Cent. Edited by IndianGoldEagle

I was not implying it was a fake. Very new Newcomb owner so with a quick glance I would say N12 or N17 or 18. No mention of different size date or bust in Newcomb. Ireally have no idea lol

amida17 I compared Moe's photo to an 1850 Half Cent and they look the same. |

IGE... it does! The tilt of the 8 to the left and size of the date do look like a Half Cent....  |
