Hello Everyone... just got this one in the mail. I'd been looking for the Redbook Variety for quite some time and wanted one that showed the design element of the lower hair curls coming up from under the shoulder. This is about the highest point of the design and is gone from specimens that grade less than VF. So, how did I do? As always, thoughts and comments welcome... EAC grade opinions, market grade opinions... etc also. Here are my images...

Nice looking Cent. I grade it VF30. Shame about the rim damage at star 4...still a nice example.
Nice details and surfaces.
Possibly an old light cleaning or brushing?
Color looks slightly light and halos around the stars and other devices may be indicative something was done….but otherwise it’s a nice example of a popular variety, and I like it.
I like it as a very nice album coin, it has a very uniform look. It might even have a planchet flaw by star 7, or maybe lamination. I’m not an error expert.
Type collector, mainly into Seated. -formerly Ownerofawheatiehorde. Good BST transactions with: mirabela, OKCC, MICHAELDIXON, Gerard
