1798 Large Cent. What Do You Think?

For the life its lived and all the places she's gone, its a rather decent AG3/G4 specimen. There are many of us on the entry level side maybe just wanting an entry level date set that would be the market for this. There are a couple rim dings on the reverse and a little corrosion is common on these and wouldn't surprise me if it was a little more apparent in hand with this one too. But there aren't any heavy scratches or gouges and the date and lettering is generally there which are super positives on this piece for its grade.

I'd say a solid G-4. It's an unfinished top of hair variety (S-162, R-4).

This coin is a keeper.

Sure there's corrosion -- most early cents suffer from it, and this one is not bad at all.

Great die warfare.

The reverse is actually outstanding with solid VG details, I think. Over all it would fetch a Good Details from NGC or PCGS, and a G-06 Details from ANACs.
