cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 11:14 am I just received this 1851 Large Cent and broke it out of a PCGS AU50 holder. I spent a couple of hours with my Grellman book trying to determine which of the 45 varieties identify this coin. As we've discussed before - these late date cents are difficult to attribute but I thought an AU50 coin might not be too difficult. I think it's an N-6 variety but would appreciate some help. Obverse 1. Date alignment seems to match N6 but also many others 2. Lines to the left of the face 3. First 1 appears to be repunched and late die state has a blurry date Reverse 1. All I have here is a light die clash coming out of the left side of the "O" in ONE. Oops - forgot the pictures Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

Here is the NGC VarietyPlus link for some assistance; http://www.ngccoin.com/vp-variety.a...-1857-1C-N-6 ~~N-2 and~~ N-6 has the clash comining out of the left of O in ONE and the date is closer to the bust than N-2...IMO.

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 12:10 pm Appears to be an N-6c, possibly 6b. I'd have to have in hand to know for sure. If the re-punching at date is still visible it's 6b, if not it's 6c. Report this Post to the Staff
