MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 7:45 pm Can't help you on the variety. But may I ask how much you paid for each one? The reason I ask is b/c I'm transitioning into becoming a dealer at shows. I have found a bulk supplier where I can purchase these from in similar conditions. Report this Post to the Staff

chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 9:31 pm I'm not sure what you're asking but the first one is 1839 Petite Head of 1840. It's a Braided Hair variety not a Coronet Cent. The grade is probably Good-4. The second one is marked correctly as well. The grade is better but marks on face knock it down. Price seems fair.

Right. 1839 is a transitional year, so it is split between the Coronet (first) and Braided type. These are from PCGS Coinfacts: I hope this helps and I'm learning right along.
