Help With 1852 Large Cent

I have the Grellmann book. Several varieties of 1852 have repunched dates. Sometimes it's just part of the date and other times the entire date.

I'll defer to the forum experts but my guess is the N-7 variety. Grellmann describes it as "Entire date repunched, clearest left of ball of 5 and curl of 2".

Great looking coin, looks AU to me. Don't know much on the repunched dates on these, sorry can't be of more help here. Where did you pick it up, ebay or LCS?

That's the understatement of the day, right there.

I would agree on the N-7 attribution.

Definitely an N-7.

I'll share I did have to do a little work on this when I got it. And it was there for everyone to see. Again I got lucky and that happens to ALL of us now and then. The next question you'll ask is how the green come off? It simply come off with GOOF OFF I sprayed it and it run right off I was not expecting this result I was very happy with this coin. It's a lot of work and time to find good coins cheap on ebay if it were easy I would do it for a living. So here it is 290911740743 believe it or not if I'm lying I'm dying. I do want to thank you all for your comments this is a very good forum I'm glad I found you guys you're all great.

Last question is a N-7 a better coin or pretty avg var? I don't grade many coins but I'm thinking about maybe doing this one since I do have room to add a grading fee. Also would PCGS add the var for the reg fee or would I have to submit as a var and pay a little more to get them to add that? Thanks again

PCGS will likely note the coin has been treated in some fashion (the Goo Gone, which isn't something we recommend around here - there's another product far better for the task) and put it in a Details slab. I may be wrong.
