1822 Coronet 1 Cent N-2?, R-3

Coinfrog. that last photo of the closeup is not the OP's coin. look at the detail compared to OP's

not sure if the rim hit may be bad enough to details the coin. you have a weak struck obv on this. the reverse would make Fine. the ear detail, LIBERTY, date and the rounded tops of the stars are too defined for a G coin.

i'd net it to VG8

That's a fair price and I think it just makes VG unless you are grading the EAC way then it's more like a G5/AG3 - I love the 1822's great set of tough dates and interesting varieties to collect.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Looking forward to getting it in hand for a look under better lighting.

tough call on details designation based on in-hand photos. the obv scratch has been there quite a while but is in a key focal area. the rim bump looks pretty minor so I'm up in the air if she grades straight or not.

interesting observation:

in the new photos the lower half of the obv has the sharpness of a F coin. sharp defined date and ll the lower stars are more well struck so I'm going with an offset weak strike on the obv. this weakness is mimicked on the rev letters of ED STATE OF. the lower half of the rev looks VG10. even though the net would be VG10 imo just wanted to point a few things out with this coin in general

VG8. For what you paid, it's just fine the way it is.
