I was hoping to get these for under $30 but that didn't happen. The only coin I was really interested in was the upper left. For some reason I had Draped Bust stuck in my head when bidding on it but it's a Capped Liberty. I'm pretty excited about it even in poor condition. Here is the awful picture the seller used.  *** Edited by Staff to clarify the topic title. Please put as much info in the title as possible; they are crucial.  *** |

I look forward to reading your evaluation once the coins are in hand.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Nice Large Cents.  The seller's photos do need a lot of work though.  Errers and Varietys.

I'm hoping to find a date on the Capped Liberty. The others I believe from what I could tell are 2 1830s, an 1840s and and 1850s (though I'm not sure on the 1850s). I'm sure they will be needing an acetone soak.

Very nice purchases!
1795 appears to be Head of 1795
1831 is maybe Large Letters
1837 is maybe plain cord, medium letters
1840 is maybe Large date

Thanks Mrhakfbacon! It was a single lot of coins. I have to compare the other 4 to ones I already have. Hopefully they will be a different Newcomb.

I am not an expert on how worn large cents affects their Edge lettering, but since the lettering should be incuse I think it would show up more. I am unsure on whether it is plain or lettered, I'll try to check the die pairs.

Looking much better upon arrival than the sellers photos showed. |

I'm leaning towards S-77 which is a plain edge

I was kind of thinking S-76 or S-77 and that's why I hunted for edge lettering. I'm very happy with this purchase and it was cheap, a bit over $10 a coin.

The 1831 and 1852 appear to match ones I already have. The 1837 and 1840 appear to be different. I wasn't able to resolve the Newcomb number as of yet for the 1840 using DRN. What I come up with isn't close to any of the 6 possibilities.
