I am looking at buying a slabbed large cent for a type set and I'm wondering,
what is the most common large cent in nice looking grade
that is not super expensive my cap is $50
im not looking for a ms60+ but a coin that I can look at and enjoy the details.
problem free would be nice but probably wont happen but
my collection will go to my kids someday and I want the type set to be nice looking coins.
this is not a buying post this is a help me because I know little to nothing about large cents post.

Heh. He posted while I was thinking (the same thing).
My guess is, your goal is doable for a slabbed XF40 from (generally) 1840-1854-ish. If you're careful about your shopping, get a good strike and nice color, these are some of the most attractive coins minted in the XF range. If you've a good feel for the grade, you'll find better deals in ICG and ANACS slabs.
If you're attentive and a bit lucky, an AU Details version can be found in that price range. Some are occasionally found looking so nice one wonders why it got into a Details slab.

I would pull the trigger on that NGC VF30 coin.
There is your coin :-)

I agree 1850s Braided hair cents are nice and can be had relatively inexpensive. I am not familiar with slabbed versions and what they cost but this would be the years to look for.

if you need to pull the trigger soon, I think the NGC VF30 coin above is a nice selection. you are going to be hard pressed to find a slab at a higher grade in that price range. if you have a little time, I would just keep an eye out. there are always LC's for sale!

For some reason, holed large cents are usually sold in groups. So you should be able to make a necklace and earrings.
