I would say its G4 to 6 for grade and value of 15 to 20 dollars.

I'll say G4. Looks like something's going on on the neck and chin area that keeps it from a 6. The reverse gets a 6, but I'll net it at a G4.

Good-4 with a nasty scrape on the 13th star. It's the kind of coin that copper dealers put in box and sell for "your pick, $10 each."

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

billjones, where are these copper dealers found?! The people at my coin show are the only ones that sell large cents, and they're all like this or worse. They want $30+ for each

They want $30+ for each If you go to the major shows, you could check out Pierre Fricke. He is mostly known for Civil War currency, but he usually has at least three boxes of lower grade large cents at three different price levels, all under $30 apiece. He claimed that one customer was able to put together a date set from 1817 to 1857, minus the 1823, from his boxes. As long as you not fussy about grades, you find something of interest. |
