Please give me an estimate of worth of this trio of classic beat up large cents.

All are somewhat pitted.
Thanks in advance .😊

There is a nice price guide on this site. It would give you a rough idea even though it is for PCGS graded coins.

Price guide, even as a rough idea for those, I don't think would work.
Best bet would be take a look on ebay for similar and see if there have been completed auctions.
I don't know any rarity level of large cents (not my series and I haven't looked them up) but that would have a play.

If they are all pretty common, my best "guess" would be $10-$20 each. Could, obviously, be more, but .......

at least there classics you have that going for you

I'll go five... that's my two cents worth...

You need better pics and a specialist. The 1810 has something going on, planchet flaw or attempted cut, if the latter it's a cull. The other two still have value as hole-fillers. All of those dates are well over $100 in G...so $20 each is a minimum, but they are low-end retail/flea market coins and many dealers might not even want them.

Those are low end specimens and might appeal to new collectors or YN's...I would keep them if they were mine... but I keep all old coins... Cheers, RickO

These would fit into the ‘scudzy’ category in the Copper Quotes by Robinson. So if someone has a copy of that handy it may provide a rough idea. But even that is only useful as a retail estimate. I offered a high R5 1795 cent with fewer problems than these cents, and was offered about 60% of the CQR value for it by a major EAC dealer.

That said many early large cents have issues, and need to be priced individually, so all guides are just that, guides.

Also, there are no rare Sheldon die varieties among the Classic head cents, so no need to be concerned that any of these are diamonds in the rough.

The 1813 is a little better date, and if the reverses shown match the order of the obverses, that one seems to also have the most meat and fewest problems, so there could be some value there, perhaps $50 or more?
The others are common dates, more worn, and more problems, so perhaps $15-20?

of luck with them, either way!

best way to get a value is put them on ebay, starting 99 cents, close Sunday around 10 PM Eastern. One coin per listing.

I did that with an 1810 many years ago (2004) and got more than a hundred bucks. It was Brasso-shined. Your results will vary.

You could get lucky.

LOL - I will add an addendum to my estimates, that these are what I think a reasonable and knowledgeable person may pay for them. I did not factor in ignorance or stupidity, at which case the sky's the limit!

Minimal value unless you are just starting a Large Cent collection on a low budget. I agree with Barndog on the disposition.

Go for $20 - $30 on Ebay or gifts to Nephew or Grandkids.
