In case you need a good laugh...I just had to share.
As seen on ebay (170172993395)

Writeup: "THE HARD-TO-FIND SUPER RARE and KEY-DATE AU+++ 1803 * DRAPED BUST LARGE CENT"

Uh...This is an R1 (S-285)

More bluster:
"The 'Guide to Coin Grading' states an AU50/53 as "Coin has more noticeable wear on the cheek, bust, and hair. There are areas of dullness that may cover half or more of the coin. There is more flatness on the leaves, and the lettering now exhibits wear."

Whether this 1803 is AU53 or AU55 please...
See PICS below - please, YOU be THE JUDGE!


Ok, ok, show us the coin.

Hmm...AU...XF...VF...F...VG10?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I guess grading is, too.
