Thanks for posting those big pics! Hmm...after spending some time, I'm a little stumped.  Anybody else have ideas? I'll try to give this a second look in the morning. |

I don't know what you're asking for.
It's a damaged, corroded cent.

This probably ought to be moved to the classic section. There is no way that 1803 is modern in the US.

Sorry, yes, as noted right after posting, this should be in Classic and I accidentally posted to Modern. I've asked that it be moved.

Alrighty, after getting a fresh look at this one...it most closely matches the S-260 to my eyes--anyone know better? Every die pair has a different rarity and corresponding value. If this is the S-260, it's an R-1 (common) The planchet is pure copper, which often contained impurities...and porosity is common. Despite the damage/porosity, it's still very collectible with those details.  Edited by DVCollector

She came back "Corroded - Damaged - VF30 Details" from Anacs. I didn't think it would go that high, so was quite happy. Does the S-260 correspond with "small date, small fraction"? (I had asked for attribution on the date/fraction when I sent it but it didn't appear on the label, so maybe they don't do these or something.) Thank you SO much for the attribution! |

The S-260 is described in the book as "Close date, 3 near hair and curl, large fraction" Since every device is punched independently, there's a lot of slight variance to each die. The fraction, the position of LIBERTY and the date helped narrow it down for me. That is, unless someone has a better idea... |

It is a S-260, small date, large fraction
The large fraction coins are easy to identify
If it is the large date (vertical serif on the 3) then it is S-265
If the gap between the ends of the wreath is centered below the edge of the serif of the E it's S-257
Next you look at the point of the left third outside leaf and see if it is below the right foot of T1 or the left foot of E1.
Below the right foot of the T
If the highest wave of the hair is below the left edge of the upright of the R it's S-260
If the highest wave is below the center of the R it's S-261
Below the left foot of E
Highest wave of hair below the left edge of the upright of R S-259
Highest wave below the center of the R S-258
