Pulled my large cents out of the safe to put in white ring Air-Tites and this 1853 jumped out at me as it is in pretty good condition. I've collected these many years ago but my interest in collecting more LC's has recently rekindled as some of you may remember from my topic posts (1831,1841 woody?) So, long story short - thoughts on grade?   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

vf30 or so sharpness. Color in pics makes it looked cleaned in past. Could be the lighting.

I would also say VF condition. Mark, lookup large cent grading scale and go to the first link you see.

Looks xf to me too. A little shiny though.
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."

I am trying to save for a good camera - going to take some coins to my local Camera store and let them help me out on buying a decent camera that can take good pics - the only prob is it's gonna cost me over 400$! I guess I gotta take the bite!! |

Bob was a Pekin rescue duck that I went to my Mom's neighbor and told them I'm taking their duck because they weren't taking care of them - Like I said, I used to box and I pretty much made him scared - LOL! My mom, who is 87, keeps telling me to stop intimidating people, I just had to laugh!! Here's my runner ducks - I got 14 of them:  and when "MS Bigmouth" hatched 8 babies - too cute!
