NumisEd · July 2, 2003 8:31AM

Finally! Somebody posts a great coin. I love these early babies. I would guess high end unc. What's the luster like? Nice coin. Wanna sell it???

Baley · July 2, 2003 8:33AM

beautiful! no way to tell how high a mint state from the pic, but let's say it's MsWOW!

FrattLaw · July 2, 2003 8:35AM

Wow! That's what that design is suppose to look like! Nice coin. I have a 1826 in my VF-AU Dansco Type set and I always wondered what one in MS condition should look like.

Thanks for posting!

Disgusting - awful gash in her cheek. I can't see how you can tolerate it. Now, due to my goodness, I will take it off your hands. What's your price?

KlectorKid · July 2, 2003 9:56AM

Love those die cracks!!!

Placid · July 2, 2003 9:59AM

MS-68.

Seriously, nice looking LC

mbbiker · July 2, 2003 10:13AM

MS-69, oops sorry just trying to become an ACG grader

honestly that is one beautiful coin.

topstuf · July 3, 2003 1:32AM

Nah, not sellin.....yet. Waitin for Andy's holographic replacement coins.

Actually it will probably find its way to the permanent stash. The patinization is so evocative of fine bronze sculpture that it just attracted me. I like the stupid thing better than a "full mint red."

It is just ........... pretty. (How'm I gonna retain my MANHOOD wit stuff like dat?)

I know..... I will look at it only during FOOTBALL season. Or NOT look at it during football season.

Oh darn, now I am getting confused. An IDENTITY crisis!

Cointh make people do thutcth thtupid thingth.

That's a super coin, I go with MS WOW too. I also like the die break connecting the stars (too bad it doesn't go all the way around).

Now you don't have to hit the link to see the pic:

With an adams apple like that , I,d hate to see THAT lady Liberty in tights.

Other than that...

Ya, Its an MS Wow.
condition rareity?

NumisEd · July 3, 2003 1:56AM

hey, topstuf, I am not asking you....I am telling you! I want that dang coin. How much?!?!? That's better than mine. How's the luster on it?

Cam40 · July 3, 2003 2:02AM

I,ll guess it will 63, shot 4.

NumisEd- Maybe when the coin comes back in a body bag, topstuf will be ready to deal....

littlewicher · July 3, 2003 2:26AM

That's a gorgeous coin! I love the original toning on it. The hair detail is absolutely phenomenal!

Elcontador · July 3, 2003 2:48AM

Topstuf,

The 1820 N-13 is the most affordable Coronet Head Large Cent in Unc. For a type set, this or the 1818 are THE coin for it.

Picked up an N-13 myself three years ago at auction in BN 5. The coin seems to be "all there" on the obverse; full detail & clean cheek. I can't tell re the leaves on the reverse because the image is too dark.

Assuming the leaves are okay (this coin was usually well struck), how this coin will grade in large part will depend on its luster.

jadecoin · July 3, 2003 3:00AM

In terms of color, etc, here is a perfect match:

topstuf · July 3, 2003 6:46AM

NumisEd....Hmmmmm.....how much ya got?

(doncha hate that?)

How many times have we heard THAT at a coin show?

heh

P.S. I like the diebreak too. I only hope the bezel doesn't cover it.
