while we're attributing large cents....here's one for you to look at

This has been in my son's Dansco "type" set for a few years now. I've always wondered if it was "anything". Aside from a few minor old marks on the obverse, it really is a nice looking piece!

I don't have my copy of Sheldon handy, but it looks to be a very nice coin!

LanLord

Very nice, I can't help with attribution but I can drool over it anyway.

NICE coin!

I don't have my book here but if I remember right that's a # 2 Hair Style.
Please count me in on your generous giveaway.

Giveaway???

I actually took this coin and several others a few years back as partial payment when I sold a fairly decent sized collection for a friend that knew NOTHING about the coins. He had inherited them from an uncle. I cleared him 30,050.00 and he gave every cent to his aunt.

Nice!
My guess F12 type 2

anyone???

rhedden

I guess S-174, R2.

Coin Finder

Goose. I think it is a 174 as well. It could be a state 1 die state which means there are no clash marks on either side and on the reverse there is a smaoll crack from the rim into the field left of the fraction. If it is this die state it is considered "rare" in Breen


I am no expert but that is what I see from the photo. It is also a hair style Two. The curl of hair above the bottom lowest curl is the diagnostic

Nice coin

I agree with rhedden and thebigeng: S-174. As Tbig noted, it looks like D/S 1, which would be rare. Goose, please bring it to the next show and we can check to be certain. I thought that it was S-175 at first (D/S 1). The reverses are very similar. Either way, it is a very nice early copper. You son has a better type set than I do!!

there is a die crack there. I removed it from his Dansco to check to be sure.

Coin Finder

Goose VF details I need to see the coin in hand to give the net grade after that. As for value??? $300 to $400 for a chice coin more to a specialist, I could be off. Check Penny Prices.
