MintPenny Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 02/14/2025 6:40 pm Hello, I just picked this up at my local coin shop and thought it might be a 1837 Large Cent plain cord small letters. There is a large die break on the obverse. I'm not sure if the die breaks adds or subtracts from the coin. Also any guesses what the grade could be? I'm thinking it might be an XF45? Thanks for any and all input. Edited by MintPenny 02/14/2025 6:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MintPenny Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 02/15/2025 12:26 pm Thanks for the feedback. I'll consider it a pretty good find, even with the environmental damage, since I was able to get it for $20. Report this Post to the Staff

There are several listings for " Retained Cuds" on the reverse of a large cents but only one on the obverse. Not sure if you would be interested, but you could easily get this one listed on COC.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 02/15/2025 1:39 pm Nice pickup - agree with the ED. Might want to consider neutralizing the ED so you still have a nice coin in 10 years.
