cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 8:08 pm Help please! Can you help me identify this 1803 large cent? Large or small date? Small or large fraction? Unfortunately I'm guessing. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff

zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 09:41 am Yes, it is a very detailed coin, if you have the ability to blow the obverse photo up, the reason for the moniker becomes quite evident on this coin. Clashing to the forehead (and wreath from the lower neck). Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/29/2010 1:53 pm It's down to an R-3 now, S-245. (N-3? Does anyone still use Newcomb numbers for the 01, 02, and 03 early dates? Ipicked up a old fixed price list for a large cents collection this past weekend. It was kind of odd looking through it. The early dates were cataloged by Crosby, Hays, Maris, Newcomb, Doughtery and Frossard numbers and the middle and late dates by Andrews numbers. You get so used to seeing Sheldon and Newcomb numbers.) And to answer the OP questions, Small date, Small fraction. Edited by Conder101 09/29/2010 1:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
