Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 07:02 am Another N-5 R.3. This is a great coin but not as good as the other one. Sharpness grade would be EAC 35 in my opinion. Coin has been cleaned and retoned as all large cents have been but this one looks cleaned so I will net grade it down to EAC 30. 1816 N-5 R.3 35/30 Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 07:34 am You have a good eye, my friend. I agree this coin has been cleaned, so it needs to go back to the window-sill for a few months. Regarding the attribution, I guess I had this one wrong as an N-4? I am not very good with Newcomb varieties so that would not surprise me. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 2:23 pm On the N-4 the bottom curl is to the left of the left edge of the 1 and the star nearest the coronet is slightly to the left as well. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18689 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 9:46 pm I also like this at VF35. Celticsoul...what tipped you off that the coin was cleaned? Was it the whitish film on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 02:33 am In my experience, a good sign of cleaning with copper coins are marked differences in toning, and specially when some of the lighter toned areas have a shiny red colour. This one had no red, but some suspicious lighter toning areas, which are really starting to tone over after lengthy exposure to a window sill. It is actually looking quite acceptable now, but it takes very long time. Report this Post to the Staff
