I am pooking at the first digit south west of the 8. Looks to be another 8! I am not to sure where to start looking this up as the onlt thing that really came up is the well known variety.I'm this is cleaned. I also did not clean this coin for anyone wondering.

    Definitely repunched, one of the experts on the late dates can tell us which N- variety it is.
    Nice find, and pretty good close up photography.

    Good pictures and I believe it has been re-punched....the residues around the numbers look like either old cleaning or some kind of grunge from handling/environment. Cheers, RickO

    That coin appears to be an 1844 N-3. While this is not an uncommon coin, the reverse appears uncracked, and therefore the coin appears to be an extremely rare die state. I would suggest getting this coin evaluated by a large cent expert and/or adding detailed photos and/or examination of the reverse to confirm no die cracks are present.

    From Grellman:

    Rarity 2 (not so common)

    Die States:
    a. Reverse uncracked (Extremely Rare)
    b. Repunching at 18 strong. Reverse cracked NTIED, wreat, OF, ME, RICA.
    c. Repunching at 18 visible. Tiny rim breaks stars 7-9. Cracked through top of STATE.
    d. Repunching at 18 gone.
    e. Large rim break star 9 down nearly to star 11. (Rare)

    Hope this helps...>Mike

    Helps a ton. Thank you very much. I will get it back out and check out the reverse. I had a problem actually finding info on the newcomb varietys and such for this year as I am by no means familiar with large cents. Thank you for all the info! I will come back with a update of reverse and post pics to confirm what I see. Thank you every one else for the help as well! I try to nab qaulity pics but all I am using is a jewlers loupe and my phone!

    So would this be the second stage? (B) not a uncracked reverse sadly...


    3 die cracks found. Very easily mossed without the loupe.

    Might not be the uncracked variety... but still a nice variety find!

    It does appear to be the more common cracked reverse, albeit an early version of it with the cracks just starting to appear.

    I grabbed this back out today going through some large cents. I noticed more anomalies coming from the rim and under the date. I need to grab better pics but would this also be a miss placed date? Or just wear from the die
