Love it when they come with the envelope, and even more so when they look like this. 1851 Large Cent, N-12 (so it says.) Actually R1, not R3-, despite the envelope and someone's wishful thinking. I haven't attributed it myself yet, but will do so later. Thoughts on a grade? My grade is 8, same as the "VG" on the envelope, & really an above average 8.

I think you easily get F12 and I lean more to F15 with this one.

F-12 is a possibility. That's quite a handsome coin.

Attributed the coin myself & with a few other EAC members & we think this is actually an N3 (1851/81) based on the Grellman numbers. The lines in the last 1 are still somewhat visible despite the later die state.

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."
