Large Cent Newcomb's have had me pulling my hair out. This is my first Half Cent. Very little information is available to identify the various Cohen varieties without a substantial investment in reference material. There is more to learn than I will ever accomplish in my remaining lifetime. Yet my curiosity always gets the best of me. Thanks for your help. Maybe one day I will get it.

Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 877 Posts	Posted 01/24/2025 3:37 pm [recognize those images that are of Gold Standard Guy. He purchases coins in details holders and resells them as problem free. If that is the case, the story of this coin likely follows the same timeline. Freeq][/q]. 100% correct jacrispies. I lurk around this auction often and thought I had learned my lesson and ignore the raw coins. Although, I have had occasional good buys. This one came home for around Greysheet VF30 bid price. I don't feel to bad though. Another lesson learned. I have been concentrating on upgrading my Dansco 7160 Walkers with certified examples @ GSA and have much better luck. The raw coins are few and far between. Definitely a roll of the dice Thanks for your reply. Report this Post to the Staff

I like the online NGC Variety Plus catalog--here's the link to the Draped Bust Half Cents: https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plu...1808/?page=1 And here's a C-8 similar to yours with the large obverse Cud. It's a nice coin despite the light scratches. https://coins.ha.com/itm/half-cents...tion-071515# Report this Post to the Staff
