Jokercut New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 7:30 pm I have a 1851 large cent that looks like one I saw in my cherry pickers book. I think the book calls the coin in the book newcomb-42 , page 13. Im looking for opinions on wether or not the one I have is the same or close thanks for any help * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

This is N-1, they share the same obv but your coin shows the lines up to the left behind and between ON and NE that are on the rev of N-1. N-1 is an R-3 coin 200 to 600 estimated to exist, the N-42 is still unique. Report this Post to the Staff

A word of warning, Late dates (1840 - 1857) are usually pretty tough to attribute unless you have VF or better coins. Early dates and middle dates are usually much easier especially on lower grade coins. Report this Post to the Staff
