It seems people buy large cents in all sorts of conditions. If you like it, that is all that really matters. It is also not the most common late thirties matron head. How much did you pay for it?

She's so ugly she's pretty... to bad for the corrosion she has VG+ details. I have a friend who only collects upper grade problem coins, he has some nice coins but don't know what he is gonna do with them when the time comes to sell.

I have problem Large Cents because quite frankly, I can't afford some of the original keys.
Bottom line if you like it, that's the only opinion that matters.
Enjoy!

It is ugly. But, still a nice old copper. Quote:

Ugly. I sold some large cents that I no longer wanted. I sold them as a lot and someone did buy them. At one point I was literally thinking of throwing a few in the trash...

I bought another damaged one to go with it. It's an 1854 with really good details as well, some of the stars even have the lines on them. Yes it has damage (corrosion?) AND it's been cleaned, but it was only 0.99 + $1.38 shipping, so...I got it to put along side the 1828 one.   |

I used to be turned off by problem coins like these, but as I've matured I find them to be more endearing than a common high grade problem-free coin. I saw an 1800 large cent at the pawn shop the other day that had so many rim dings the poor thing looked like an octogon. It was marked at $25. I've been thinking about it all week. I may go back and offer the guy $10. As someone above said, there's no such thing as bad old copper. Once your coin is pushing 200 years, it's just a really cool piece of history regardless of condition!
