I finally acquired a Classic Head Large Cent to fill the spot in my 7070 Type Set that I sold last year (hesitantly) and wanted to see what the CCF Members had to say about her in comparison to NGC. Thank you for your interest and comments!    Edited by oih82w8

Somewhere between vg10 and f12
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."

Nice die crack obverse .... and associated Cud on reverse? I like the coin and would like to see it grade 15 to almost 20.... and easy to attribute with the crosslet 4 : S-294. I am making the assumption that the reverse scratches are on the holder. Edited by johnjkedel

Righteous 15. Great straight grade for this elusive type, especially without details. Love it  |

A nice original example of the issue. F15, maybe closer to 20 due to the planchet and strike issues and late die state. I'd buy them all day long like this, except they're not out there to buy.

Agree, F-15 light porosity. Very handsome coin.

NGC has her listed as a VG10  I will cross her over to PCGS and see what they say. |

I would definitely cross this one over to PCGS. VG-10 is far too low. It should be least F-12/15.
