Bubba65 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 11:03 am Hi All, I find all my coins using a metal detector. Been detecting for 29 years. Anyways I found this 1849 Large Cent this past weekend and saw there are lots of varieties in this year. So I was seeing if anyone could attribute this coin to a variety. Oh by the way I am a new member and I have been reading awhile and enjoy all your postings. Bubba65 Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps it can be narrowed down to a few possibilities based on date position. Report this Post to the Staff
Bubba65 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 8:09 pm Thanks I forgot to mention as probably can be seen the bottom of the 9 in the dates ends into a thin line, where most of the ones I have seen posted on the internet end into almost a heavy dot like look. I don't know if this helps, but it is what I have observed. Thanks, Bubba65 Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 8:33 pm good observation, but all varieties end in a dot. Must be it was either grease filled or got damaged. Just as a stab in the dark, I'd say N-23 but don't quote me on that. Report this Post to the Staff
