Finally an easy one I think N-12 or N-25 with the point of curl so far right. Hopefully it will clean up a bit.

Definitely an N-12 as you said. Easy one. As far as grade I'll say solid F-12. As far as the surface it's a bit scudzy, try the water, acetone Verdi-Care treatment and it will look a lot better.

Hello,

Well now I've got my Penny Whimsey 1793 - 1814 and Noyes 1816 - 1839, so what do you think would be a couple of the better books to reference for 1840 and newer LCs?

b/t/w ditto on the F-12

For the later dates the best reference is "The Die Varieties Of Untied States Large Cents 1840-1857" by J.R. Grellman. Bob Grellman is the definitive expert on Braided Hair Large Cents. Ordering info can be found here;

Another excellent resource is "United State Copper Cents 1816-1857" by Howard Newcomb. This is the main book I use for attribution but seeing as it was published in 1945 it is a little out of date. That book can be purchased from Amazon.com and can be found online for free here;
