14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 05/06/2011 11:53 pm I would be interested in some opinions of what to grade this 1802 Large Cent. According to Photograde: GOOD= Obverse: The head will be distinctly outlined. Reverse: All of the letters will be readable although the rim may be worn down into some of them due to uneven striking. VERY GOOD= Obverse: About 1/3 of the hair detail will show. the date will be bold. Reverse: All letters will show. the wreath will be outlined but show no detail. FINE= Obverse: About 2/3 of the hair detail will show.The hair will be smooth above Liberty's forehead, the top of her head and to the left of her neck. Reverse: Some of the leaves will show individual separation. On the obverse of this coin the date and LIBERTY barely make GOOD but her hair seems to be getting close to FINE. On the reverse, some of the lettering almost meets VERY GOOD but AMERICA is strong. The wreath seems to meet the definition for FINE. So, what to grade it? Report this Post to the Staff

3_Cent_Silver Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 06:48 am Hmmm, that is a tricky one...I'd say VG-8. Also, is that a 2 over 1 variety, or is it just the picture? Report this Post to the Staff
14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 08:35 am I don't see a two over one. To faint to tell. Also, the reverse is to faint to tell if it is a 1/000. Report this Post to the Staff
