Wanted to share with you guys I managed to ID a variety with one of my large cents. I have been buying a few off ebay that are unatrributed. I don't have a large cent book so I had to try to use the coinfacts website and got lucky. I had a 1827 large cent and figured out it was an N-7. I then sent the pics to someone that is able to verify. He told me I got it right on. I was so happy I finally got something figured out in the Coin World :)

Here are the Pics. Anyone wanna suggest a grade?

Very interesting, but now I have to start on large cents?

I'm thinking VG to F as far as grade goes

I'd estimate VG details, but unfortunately with some corrosion, a long cut across Ms. Liberty, and what looks like rim damage at 11:00 on the obverse. Or, perhaps that's a slight rim clip.

It's certainly a decent coin, especially if you are interested in large cent die varieties. Do you know whether this N-7 variety is particularly scarce?

I want to say it's R3 I may be mistaken but I don't think so
