Hi,
This is a recent purchase. I think UNC - but where in that range?
Thanks in advance

    ** 1835 Large Cent for grading opinions**
    One thing I’m certain of is that it is not a large cent….As far as the grade, maybe 63? I really like the color and skin, especially on the reverse.

    Those are clash marks from where the obverse and reverse dies came together without a coin blank between them.

    I would say MS-64, Brown.

    That's a nice looking coin. Interesting to see the broken L in Liberty. Really looks like it was well taken care of.

    Not knowledgeable enough to attempt
    to assign a grade, but that’s a clean coin right there. Nice eye appeal. 👍🏻
    (to clarify, I mean clean, not cleaned)

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    I also love the clash marks on the obverse, what are the two marks on the reverse protruding from under the top leaves. I thought scratches, but they appear to go under the berries and should leave marks on the berries if scratches. Just curious.
    I believe it might just get the 64 grade.

    I would say 63 or 64BN. Nice example.

    63 on a bad day. Likely it’s 64.

    Terrific coin!
    At the very beginning of the year, I got one similar to that, and I have had a hell of a time finding a nice piece of problem free copper that works for me. 👍

    63 BN
    62 BN on a bad day

    There’s some roughness at 1200 on the reverse. This could be due to slight planchet corrosion or die rust.

    I like it and that's all that counts.

    61/62. The obverse light reflection is not allowing proper evaluation.

    There is some corrosion around states of. I think it would straight grade mint state at a TPG though.

    I think it’s time for a reveal.

  • dsessomdsessom Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That's a very nice half cent! It looks like it will probably grade MS63BN.

    Arrived today. It made 64. I am very happy with the result.

    The second pic is better than the first one. I was concerned with what may have been rub on the hair above the ER re the first pic. First pic also exaggerates contact marks on obverse.
