Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2869 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 2:10 pm I don't really collect US coins - though I've picked up a few in my time. I do however have the deluxe version of the Red Book which is a great read and fantastic value if you are interested in that area. I picked this up recently for a few pounds and looked it up but all the coins illustrated there for this year seem to have a clear gap between the date and the bottom of the bust - while this one doesn't - though that may be down to wear of course. Happy to take any clarifications.

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 9:16 pm It just depends on where the mint worker punched in the date. A few years ago, before I really knew what I was doing, I bought a (heavily polished) 1847 dime, on which the date completely overlapped the base of the design. I don't have pictures right now, but this is the variety: http://seateddimevarieties.com/date..._101page.htm I like your large cent, it looks like an attractive piece. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 9:20 pm looks to me maybe n-14 which is an r-4 coin. F sharpness net graded down to maybe vg8 or so EAC grading wise. CQR lists value of $19 in VG8 in avg circulated condition. Report this Post to the Staff
