This is a new arrival. I find attributing the later date large cents to be difficult. I've spent a long time with my Grellman book and think it is N-5 or maybe N-9. It's possible that neither is correct.

Regarding N-5 my DRN of 5625 was close to the book DRN of 5525 and I think I see something in the dentils under the left side of the 4 referred to as a stray 4. Star 13 seems to have extra weak points. Perhaps a tiny reverse point from dentil over right side of E in AMERICA.

Regarding N-9 I came up with the matching DRN 5625 and there are extra points on star 13.

Any help would be appreciated as well as opinions on grade.
