Hello,

I have decided on some direction to take my next collecting project. I am thinking of selling some of my scattered misc. stuff that I don't really collect to help fund. This 1853 Large Cent is one of those that I am considering selling.

As an aside, the direction is to go with Dansco albums, mostly clad bu and proof modern coinage.

I am still very new at grading but reading up and looking at pics on pcgs, etc. I'm thinking xf45...but since so new at grading, I would like some other opinions as well (especially in case I am being too tough haha). The backgrounds are different because the first version one was too blurry and I had to retake.

Hard to nail it down from these photos but the coin appears to be AU and not sure if the surface is natural or it has been cleaned.

Probably AU details, as it looks cleaned.

Looks like a nice AU! I think the Obverse has been polished.
