My First Large Cent

Sn3nut · October 28, 2004 4:53AM

I have never been a copper collector ... mainly because of the RD, RB, BN thing. The RD designation is fairly self-explanatory, as is the BN. It's that RB in the middle that confuses me. Then again ... a lot of things confuse me in our hobby!

I know -- before the flaming starts -- it's like anything else. All it takes is careful study, analysis, and attention to detail. My basic premise is simply to collect what I like … not to try and become an expert on any given series.

That said … here is the coin. It’s in a PCGS MS65RB slab. I like it. What do you large cent experts think? Did I do good?

Edited to add larger pics. Sorry but my scanner doesn't do justice to this coin. Most of the scratches are on the holder

I like it, but I wish the picture was larger

I think that you did well. Looks closer to RD than RB, which is a good thing. It also doesn't have that "pink" look that doctored copper has. Nice coin. Welcome to the wonderful world of early copper.

I still have not acquired my first large cent, but yours looks really nice... need bigger pics!

Small pic but looks great! I'm in much the same boat as you. I never gave any attention to large cents until recently. Now I have two!

I love the luster on large cents. It's not fine grain but big ol chucks of luster Not another series with it. IMO.

Looks like a keeper to me

My newest large cent looks like it's been napping in a Hershey bar for 100 years. To think when they were minted they came out that shiney!

Gorgeous large cent. But now I want to see a bigger image!

Very nice.

Looks nice, will look nicer with big pics.

Sn3nut, Wow! That coin looks very nearly full red and with lots of luster. But be very careful as there is something very special about early copper. This could turn into a lifelong pursuit. I know. I became hooked in the early 90s and have been chasing the big coppers ever since.
