This 1855 Large Cent is Newcomb N-8. I don't remember if I ever posted it, or if I did, I never wrote it down. I'll try to actually write it down this time around. Your thoughts on a grade and any other comments are welcomed.

Is that a bad scuff over the eye?

Haven't graded a large cent in a long time so I won't take a guess on this one, but man these are such beautiful coins!

Scuff aside, I'll say EF40.

Looks AU-50 to me. Not seeing a scuff above the eye so straight grade on this one.

No scuff. It's just light reflecting off the coin.
Coin is raw, not slabbed (almost all of my copper is stored in Kraft envelopes) -- I do have some slabbed early coins but that's a small % of my collection.

im using slab grade as shorthand for PCGS market grading standard where I think its like a 45+ or a 50-. using EAC standard I would grade this 40. I dont think NGCXtreeme has a standard for large cents, and I'm not very familiar with that system yet, but it would probably be something like 7 on a 10 point scale.
doug bird had my favorite grading system ive encountered. he would just tell you how much he thought the coin was worth.

People that can't agree on a grade can agree on a price :P

That is a very nice cent, superb color and even better picture.
My opinion on grade is XF45.

I think it would make AU-50 nice coin.

I'm going to stick with EF45 as the rim bump at 9:00 bothers me, even though it's small.
