epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 1:08 pm Hi all. My latest purchase, but I'm not good att determining which variety it is....not grading large cents either btw. So can you assist me in telling grade and variety? the rim dings might make it a details coin, but if we disregard those... thanks Edited by epikur 01/27/2014 1:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 5:06 pm Unsure of number variety. Definitely a Booby Head 1839 Large Cent. Disregarding the rim dings, (per your request), I would grade this coin at EF-40. Nice details. Report this Post to the Staff

epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 5:41 pm hmm, the auto feature on my compact camera made it look like that, probably due to the background. If it has been cleaned, it was a long time ago Here are two more pictures showing a more accurate color.. oh, and what features am I supposed to look at when determining the variety?

For the obverse...The position of the tip of the Coronet in relation to the sixth star. Also, position of the left edge of the curl to the 9 in the date.....PLUS this one just looks like a Booby Head. The reverse Position of the berries, whether there is a center dot etc... This obverse 5, was paired with reverse E (N5) and reverse H later state (N10). Report this Post to the Staff
