Hello Everyone... I recently acquired this 1828 Large Cent. I guess the white balance must have been off in the sales pics because they appeared significantly darker than what the coin turned out to be. Here are a couple of images I just took... Thoughts?

    lovely one.

    if i could get them stable, would love to have tubes of em just like this.

    keep one in my pocket like i've done before, pull it out in rare instances and blow people's minds. :)

    Very nice example.
    Looks Vf 25/30 with nice color and surfaces.
    The cents from 1821-1830 are tough to find and somewhat pricey above Vf, so this is a solid example for a collector on a budget.

    Nice old large cent and almost 200 years old.... Probably saw a lot of commerce in those times...Cheers, RickO

    Thanks everyone... I was pleasantly surprised with the color and surfaces when I got this one. I also grade her a solid VF25... the hair curl in front of Liberty's ear is apparent, but it's not as crisp as I like to see on a 30...

    Not to disparage ricko, but I don’t think that coin saw a lot of commerce. It looks like it was stuck in a cool, dry, dresser drawer prior to 1840 and left alone for many decades, after which it became a nice collectible that nobody monkeyed with.

    Very nice coin.

    That's a really nice looking example of the small date variety which is more scarce and tougher to find I think. Attractive VF + I would guess.
