May I please have your opinions about this 1819 large cent. I believe I have it attributed correctly as N-04, with 1st and last stars close to the date. Can you please confirm this? Thanks!   |

I can confirm that this is an N-4 which is an R.3. The reverse is considered Die State B because this reverse die was also used on the N-7 die marriage. Flow lines can be seen near the rims.
As far as grade I'll say that this coin exhibits an F-15 detail sharpness but I will have to net grade it to EAC 12 for the rim damage.
The coin has a good honest color and is a scarce variety.
1819 N-4 R.3 15/12

Thank Celticsoul. F12 Is about where I would have graded it too, so we think alike here.
This is a coin that I forgot I had, was happy to find, and had a great time trying to attribute it this morning. Getting better with the Newcomb numbers.

Where do you find these variety numbers and die numbers? Jeff

Jeff, for the Newcomb number for cents 1816-1857 I am starting to attribute and learn using the 'idiots' way. I just go to the Heritage archives, and flip through very N number in sequence until I have a hit.
The smart way would be to get a Newcomb book.

Net F15. Weak strike on the reverse.

F15 beautiful coin/color. I'm trying to keep up with the forum, but not easy in summer. Way too much to do.
