Just got a new coin for my Variety Type Set.........My 1st Large Cent!

I thought this was a really nice coin for the grade with no marks or distractions. The RPD is great. You can see the base of a 1 between the 51 and on the first 1 there is a line half way up. And the base has what looks like 3 punches. Thanks for looking and comments welcome. This is my first Large Cent so........................ :/

    choice for an XF, really can't go wrong with those being so inexpensive. BTW, PCGS cert verification has a pic for you too!

    Your first Large Cent? Be careful or you might get hooked.

    I also thought it was nice for grade. On the PCGS photo......this photo is much more of how the coin looks in hand.

    Looks like a strong 40. Nice coin.

    Nothing wrong with this coin, a perfect circulated large cent!

    But I was expecting it to be the 1851/81 variety from you! :p

    Would that almost be an MPD? I'm supposing not since I don't see it in the other devices, but that first 1 is really high!

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I looked at both varieties and actually like this one better. It was also the nicer looking one.

    You can never just have one 😈 Agree with your assessment. Great fields and choice for sure

    Yeah, the PCGS images are less flattering. But I think you should adjust the color, unless the obverse really is more green and the reverse more red.

    Cool coin. I love the quirky large cent series.

    Nice for the grade. Welcome to the copper side. :)

    That's a nice coin! ... Wow ... Large cent

    I have always liked the large cents ...have a few that I acquired over the years... Nothing special (well, one that has been altered, sent to me by a forum member)...I like the feel of the big copper...Cheers, RickO

    Yes, I will have to work on that. The obverse is the same color as the reverse.
