Hi Everyone, Here are two more Classics to add! The first is an 1818 and the second is an 1836. All the best, Vinnie     |

Gorgeous!! You're so lucky you've found one so old. My oldest is from 1907. :) But then again, I am a new collector! Nice pics too.

1836 has a nice rimbreak between stars #7 and #8. Very nice "Wavy-Top Head."

Great large cents! Looks like nice original surfaces with VF details (IMHO) on the 1818. Neat die crack at the top. I think yours is a N7 (closed hairbun) variety. Just got my "The Cent Book, by Wright". I have not had a lot of time practice attributing but with distinct die cracks I think I have the attribution correct. I like the large Cud on the 36. To bad about the vergis. Still, it has nice nice EF details on the obverse! |

I have not had a lot of time practice attributing I I believe you are right on the 1818 with the die cracks not sure if it is a Closed Hairbun. I would have called the 1836 a Cud but Mr Wright called it a "rimbreak." I'm sure the better pro's will jump in to help us learn. |

Nice large cents! I believe the 1818 to be N10 though; n7 has a reverse center dot and a defective T in cent,which this one doesn't. The 1836 is a lds of N3 I believe.

Thank you for all the replies! I haven't tried to attribute them at all but will be reading up on the varieties mentioned tonight.

That Cud on the 1836 is typical of N6 and N7. The way to tell them apart is that the base of the Es in states and AMERICA is broken on the N6 as it is on yours. The 1818 is an N8. Any chance you would sell it? |

Nice ladies. Congrats on your acquisitions. I collect more of the later dates, so I really enjoy seeing that 1818. Someday.

The 1836 is N-6. It almost always comes with that Cud. Without the Cud it is extremely rare. Contrary to what OldSkool said N-7 does not come with this Cud. He is right on the 1818, N-8 the cracks through stars 12,13 to the date, joining the 1 an 8 (later the top of all the digits), and from star 1 to the 1 are diagnostic. This is an early die state with the crack through stars 4,5,6,and 7 but before the rim Cuds developed above them. |

Bpoc1, congrats on your book purchase.
Conder, thanks for the correction:) I was looking at the wrong #; N-8 it is:)

Oldskool,
We could figure something out, I believe my post count needs to be higher though. Rest assured, it's not going anywhere at the moment!
Conder,
Thank you again for the attributions, you are a wealth of knowledge!

Oldskool got the attributions before I saw the thread, I just confirmed them and added more information.
