Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 09/28/2011 01:12 am I posted this coin months ago but never got a solid ID on the variety. It is an 1819 Large Cent graded EF-40 in an old PCI slab (green-label). They call it a "large date" on the slab but it seems pretty clear that it is an 1819/8 overdate. I'm leaning towards the N-1 variety for the overdate but I'm open to other opinions. Here are new photos of the obverse, reverse, and a close-up of the 9. What say you Large Cent collectors? (PS: the reddish color on the upper left reverse is from the light, not on the coin!). Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 11:59 am Thank you Condor and Moe for your comments. I have the Heritage Rasmussen Collection catalog which shows varieties N-1 through N-10 for the 1819 cent and the N-1 is the only overdate variety among these. The catalog text mentions there are many varieties for this year, including "overdates" (plural) so I assumed there was more than one possible ID for my coin. Apparently if you have an 1819/8 cent it has to be N-1. The catalog confirms that only N-1 and N-2 are "large date" types so I see that PCI was right to that extent. However, to me the overdate is the primary feature of this coin and I'm surprised PCI failed to mention it! I like overdates and I appreciate that this one is quite prominent.
