It's an N-6. I wouldn't pay that, but obviously someone is about to.
Perhaps not a bad price for an R-4 coin.

just sold for $2102. I figured it was N10 or N11 because they are R5 and R6. Time to start checking all the 1830's on the bay!  |

It could be possible that this variety isn't very common in higher grades like this. Just imagine how the seller felt when he/she saw the ending price.

30 N-6 is only an R-4 but almost all of them are either lower grade or higher grade with problems. A nice smooth middle grade piece is rare. The Dan Holmes piece was just a little better than this one and it sold for $3,335 ebay auction coin  Holmes coins  |

Difference is subtle, but I'd rather have the Dan Holmes coin. The stars are a lot stronger as is the hair. Also has provenance.

Thanks for the clarification. Is there a site or book with population reports concerning die varieties?
Btw I wasnt ever trying to suggest that someone overpaid etc; just curious as to what I was missing...

I recall seeing a chart that translated the R values to a range of surviving examples. Just can't remember where. maybe someone else can dig it up.

Sure am glad I only collect Large Cents by date and not die variety. $2102 for a common date is hard to swallow.

$2100 would buy me a lot of high grade coinage in other areas but to each his own...
