cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 06/26/2014 7:01 pm I recently bought this 1851 Large Cent and after browsing the 45 varieties I think it is N-14. If someone can confirm that it will help with my question about the coin. The question is about the 8 in the date which may be a re-punch, or post mint damage, or a 'low spot'. I'm not familiar with the term 'low spot' and don't know what it would look like. The Grellman book says that in the late die state 'there is a low spot in the field around the 8'. If it's an re-punched date then it's not an N-14. Any assistance will be appreciated! Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff
