Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/09/2014 01:31 am I bought a couple of very worn dateless Victorian large cents for fun, to play "guess the date on the large cent". I have my guesses, did I get them right? Coin #1: can't tell too much, but 3rd digit looks like a 9... how is that any help? This has got to grade lower than AG-3. PO-1 large cent anyone? My guess: 1891 Coin #2: date ends with 0 and has a nice obverse circulation cameo. No idea what this one grades but the obverse is much nicer than the reverse. My guess: 1900H Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 11/09/2014 02:42 am 1891, closed C, small leaves 1898H, OBV4, doesn`t look like 0 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/09/2014 02:52 am Looks like a 0 in hand. A 0 that's got the top half rubbed off. DBM, where do you find closed C varieties? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 11/09/2014 1:16 pm Yeah, now that's looking more like the remnants of a 0. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/10/2014 01:35 am I've played around a bit with the brightness and contrast and it does look like a worn-off 1. Either way still a pre-1900s coin and definitely my oldest. DBM, where do you find the variety listing for closed C? Report this Post to the Staff
