Not many 1793 Chain Cents within my budget  so I bought this 1855 Large Cent at The EAC auction. My 11 year old grand daughter is the only one in my family interested in coin collecting so I'll give it to her. Grade and other comments are welcome.   *** Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title.

I'll refrain from the guess as I was the underbider, but this coin has a heck of a provenance.

High AU seems right to me. Reverse has some issues.

i wish we had a better obv shot. I keep coming back to this one and would like to see what the obv left field looks like around K8-9 as well as the right field in back of the neck
I'm going to change my assessment of AU55+ as I'm not seeing any signs of wear so I'm going with MS62BN
