cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 8:25 pm I just received this 1800 large cent in an NGC slab- VF details. As usual, I set it free as it is a keeper. I'd appreciate help in identifying the variety - thanks! Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff

It's more visible in hand - I guess the light from the digital microscope is too bright but there is no adjustment. Let me know of any other areas that need a close up. Thanks!

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 12:09 pm Thanks Fioti and Rayman311 Here's a closeup of the date. The crack under the date also does seem to match the S-211 link you provided. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 5:18 pm Why a "details" grade? I thought those were given to cleaned or tampered with coins. I guess its for corrosion too. Report this Post to the Staff

The obverse is nice, but the reverse has some corrosion and so the 'details' designation. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff
