This 1855 Large Cent is Newcomb N-8. I don't remember if I ever posted it, or if I did, I never wrote it down. I'll try to actually write it down this time around. Your thoughts on a grade and any other comments are welcomed.

Is that a bad scuff over the eye?

Haven't graded a large cent in a long time so I won't take a guess on this one, but man these are such beautiful coins!

Scuff aside, I'll say EF40.

Looks AU-50 to me. Not seeing a scuff above the eye so straight grade on this one.

xf 45 slab grade. its like a 48 or something so I wouldnt be surprised to see it slab at 50.
I collect low grade large cents. I currently have >230 Sheldon varieties and >235 middle date Newcomb varieties.

No scuff. It's just light reflecting off the coin.
Coin is raw, not slabbed (almost all of my copper is stored in Kraft envelopes) -- I do have some slabbed early coins but that's a small % of my collection.

im using slab grade as shorthand for PCGS market grading standard where I think its like a 45+ or a 50-. using EAC standard I would grade this 40. I dont think NGCXtreeme has a standard for large cents, and I'm not very familiar with that system yet, but it would probably be something like 7 on a 10 point scale.
doug bird had my favorite grading system ive encountered. he would just tell you how much he thought the coin was worth.

People that can't agree on a grade can agree on a price :P

That is a very nice cent, superb color and even better picture.
My opinion on grade is XF45.

I think it would make AU-50 nice coin.

I'm going to stick with EF45 as the rim bump at 9:00 bothers me, even though it's small.
