bobbymeru Valued Member United States 285 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 08:02 am Can you help me authenticate this 1822 large cent? What grade would you give it in your opinion? Any help would be much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 11:53 am It's real but this piece needs to be looked at in hand by a copper specialist, or better pictures need to be posted. I keep going over and over this and I can't tell if it is N-8, N-11, or N-13. N-8 is scarce and N-13 is rare. N-11 is common but I am pretty sure it is NOT N-11. Report this Post to the Staff

bobbymeru Valued Member United States 285 Posts	Posted 11/18/2011 3:25 pm I was having a hard time determing what N variety is is, that's why I wanted to make sure it was authentic. what grade would you give it? Report this Post to the Staff
bobbymeru Valued Member United States 285 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 11:09 am So I had someone who specializes in early coppers take a look at this. It is an N3 R2 variety. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/21/2011 08:36 am OK I see what I missed. I agree it's an N-3. Report this Post to the Staff
mariospaghetti Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 11/21/2011 1:37 pm Ok what just carl is referring to is the Newscomb varieties for Lrge cents. There is also sheldon varieties and many others. I posted a link below that is a small read which will guide one to books about the difference. http://www.eacs.org/lcctext.htm I hope this helps.

Nice list of books but I was asking what those N numbers mean. Still don't know and just starting collecting Large Cents so would like to know. Odd nothing in the Glossary at left about that either. As to the grade of that coin, I too would say about EF-40+ to almost AU. Really nice details for a coin that old. Edited by just carl 11/22/2011 10:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
