Picked this up tonight. This is the Classic Head Large Cent with the highest mintage at 1,458,500 struck. For context, the full mintage of all Classic Head Large Cents is smaller than the mintage of one year of Liberty Cap Cents. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

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."

Another nice Classic Head. Surfaces not corroded or otherwise affected besides a few marks. I would be at G4 on this one.

Definitely a harder short series to find cause of the low mintages and they are expensive in grades xf and up
