No worse than AU55, I think, with just the slightest of doubts as to the originality of the surfaces. And at that, it happened a long time ago if it did at all. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 9:50 pm That's a nice large cent. The picture of the obverse is a bit fuzzy but it appears to be in AU condition. This is a great series to collect. Most coins back to about 1840 are very affordable in high grade. I would be pleased also. congrats! Report this Post to the Staff

canuck1us Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 01/08/2012 12:02 pm Thanks for the responses. I paid less than an EF catalog value for it so I feel pretty good. I have some Canadian large cents but I like the U.S. one better. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 01/08/2012 1:10 pm I agree with AU-50. You generally won't see that much hair detail on EF coins. These later-date large cents usually have blunt detail on the stars and frequently the denticles are weak. This coin is maybe below average on star detail, above average for denticles. The color looks off to me also; likely re-toned after an old cleaning. Still a decent type example! Report this Post to the Staff
