Early Large Cents

I was just searching for unattributable coins and came across this site. I apparently joined 8 years ago, but lost the bookmark.

I recently found an 1800 I can't attribute and thought I'd post it here.

My claim to fame (or infamy) was the discovery of the third known 1793 NC-6 while scanning the Heritage Archives looking for comps for a S-16 a friend discovered.
I confirmed this as well as a 1795 NC-3 for another friend and my purchase of an unattributed 1796 NC-2 is what I use for my avatar.

    You’ve been part of identifying THREE NC’s?
    I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy….

    Seriously though, very cool. Best I’ve found was a high R5 S-111, last die state, same obverse as the NC-5. So close….

    You certainly picked a good one. It's a lovely example.

    I'm in the middle of a project that keeps getting put off. Taking a photo of every Early Date Large Cent. I'm almost through 1800 now. I get slowed down and sidetracked too easily.

    Focus, man, focus (lol)!
    And be sure to post pics here so we can see them!

    This is one I did this morning. I think it threw me off because it was double struck and threw the clash angles off. That and a misattribution by SEGS as S-115.

  • SirmarshallSirmarshall Posts: 25 ✭✭✭

    Messed that one up.


  • SirmarshallSirmarshall Posts: 25 ✭✭✭

    Maybe this time.

    If it doesn't work this time...

    Here are the pics of the two fairly corroded raw coins in my possession. Would love to hear your opinion.

    First one looks like S-224 Noyes die states B/B. Nice detail but usual Environmental damage.

    Second is S-267 but too worn near rim to die state.

    Here's one I picked up recently. It has some planchet flaws and a couple of other issues, but straight-graded by our hosts at VG08. Detail for that grade is pretty nice, which is what attracted me to the coin. It's been attributed as the S-8 Vine & Bars edge..... but that's just me taking their word for it.

    Nice S-8. None of the 1793s are generally in this nice of a condition (not grade) so it should command a nice premium over book.

    It has better detail than most at that grade, but the dings may make that a net grade. You could do a whole lot worse than that purchase and not much chance of doing better.

    That wreath cent looks Fine all day long.

    I think so too, but there is a scratch across the portrait that probably caused them to net it down some. In -hand it isn’t so noticeable as in the photo, but it is there. The planchet issues are a bit more forgivable given the time period.

    When I was checking COMPs., similar coins ranged from vg details to vf20 (mostly VF20 with or without Details) . It's not one of those where you find consistent grading. It appears the whim of the grader on any particular day make more difference than usual.

    Not sure if this qualifies, but someone posted an 1827, so here it goes....
