I just received this coin that I purchased from an auction with a fuzzy photo. On the photo it looked like there may have been something in the first 0 of the date. It looks like it is an 1800/79, but I'm not sure what variety or Sheldon number it is. It's got very nice details, but there is some corrosion on the black parts so I'm sure it would receive a details grade if submitted for grading. What do people think? Thanks for your help and opinions.    Paul Bulgerin

Beautiful, naked-eye overdate. I'll leave it to my betters to determine which one it is.

I'm at work right now but I'll be happy to attribute it when I get home unless someone beats me to the punch.

Definitely an S-196 which has a rarity of R.1. This coin has fantastic details. Probably EF-40 before it was buried in my opinion.

Wow, mouth watering coin. How much did you get it for?

I got it on ebay for $57 listed as a regular 1800. Would a coin like this be worth the cost of NGC conservation services? Paul Bulgerin

 it looks like it has already been conserved. |

There is nothing that can be done for this coin. It is what it is. Still quite nice, IMO.

I think this cent still retains a nice appearance.
In fact, for a ground find (and it seems to be one), it is quite well preserved.

Nice overdate!  I too would leave it as is. |
