Anybody Actually Have A Classic Head Large Cent In A 7070 That They Like?

This is the one coin that has just been driving me crazy for years. When I buy coins for my physical 7070 album, I want something to actually stick in the hole instead of just having a slabbed coin that I store elsewhere. And with every other coin in my album I've been able to find raw examples that have enough eye appeal to satisfy me.

Despite years of trying and multiple upgrades, however, I still have been unable to find a raw example of a Classic head Large Cent (1808-14) that I really like. And even if I wanted to buy a slabbed example and crack it out, the only slabbed examples that I've found that appeal to me cost thousands of dollars.

My current hole filler is one I picked up at a coin show last year that cost me a rather hefty $800 or so, and even this one isn't giving me the joy I hoped for:



[It's actually a 1810/09 repunched date, which partially accounts for why I paid so much. The rest was just due to frustration and poor judgment, to be honest, since it looked better in hand then it did under magnification.]

Part of the problem, of course, is the poor quality of planchets that were used for this series. With any other series I have been able to find mid-grade examples that still have a good amount of detail and plenty of eye appeal. But so far any affordable example of this series has had a lot of porosity, and the ones that look good are slabbed and cost many thousands of dollars.

So... what about you guys? Has anybody had any luck finding one for your 7070 album that you are actually satisfied with? Am I being too picky? Too cheap? Or have I just not been looking hard enough?
