halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1501 Posts	Posted 02/27/2021 6:24 pm It's a rather common date, with a mintage of over 5 1/2 million. Damage to the coin renders it ungradable, but still kinda cool to think it's almost 200 years old. Report this Post to the Staff

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 02/27/2021 8:59 pm Damaged rims and holed - probably holds it back to around a 5 spot. But to have a damaged large cent is better than to not have one at all! Report this Post to the Staff
