A recent acquisition. Nice, even chocolate brown surfaces in a straight-grade PCGS holder (problem free.) Using seller pics until I get this in hand. The post office gets tired, I'm sure, of me having to show up every day at lunch and sign for packages, but I've got them all on a first name basis now, and perhaps I'll buy them all gift cards or something to be nice. :)    Thank you for taking the time to read this.

VF-20. Is the reverse a Greaser, or did that not really effect LC's? |

Those pictures are a little dark, but I will say it is a F-15

I'd sure go with 20, but I think amida17 is right, EAC would probably grade it a 12 or 15. Still a beautiful coin, and congratulations!

PCGS says F-12. I wish you F-15 and VF-20 guys worked for PCGS :)  Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

Nice coin no matter the TPG a oppinion.  A fair grade maybe, but F is more of a EAC grade IMHO. I think the better TPG grade would be VF20. Also, I believe it was Struck Through Grease. |

What a beautiful, early cent. Nice colour too.
I think F15 is a proper grade for this coin. Possibly the minor marks in the fields, which are absolutely common in such coins, caused PCGS to net it down a few points. No matter, a very nice 1798. Have you attributed it yet? It should be easy with the reverse break.

@GERMANICVS - not yet. I have a copy of Penny Whimsy headed my way soon. EAC is very very new to me so I am going to have to start from the ground up. I have both a 10x loupe and a 60x micro so that should help me figure it out. I'll let you know. :) I think this would be an ANACS F-15, not sure if NGC would go F-15 or leave it F-12. I don't think that it's worth a regrade attempt with another TPG. For some reason I tend to prefer copper in NGC. Not sure why, just a "thing" I have. Perhaps it's the slab design, or just some subliminal thing.

It seems to be S-164 or S-165. Both of which are scarcer die varieties at R-4. This is just a quick evaluation since I do not have my references with me. You can confirm the attribution via more through comparison via HA archives or here: http://www.largecents.net/collectio...8drbust.htmlHope it turns out to be a scarcer variety. That adds to the fun! |
