1820 Large Cent - would like to know the Newcomb number

EDITED TO ADD: If anyone could help me by identifying the Newcomb number, I would appreciate it. I believe this to be the large date variety. TIA

Awesome obverse die crack! I love the overall look, with the subtle blue highlights.

Very nice coin and I love the pics.

Don't know if you noticed. There appears to be an ever so slight die crack on the obverse.

Beautiful coin. What does it grade ? I would like to find one just like it.

I love that coin and I love all high grade mint state cents dated 1820.

(I hate it when someone is handed an 1820 large cent and says "Oh, a Randall Hoard piece!" trying to impress you that they know that the Randall hoard contained many mint state cents dated 1820. NOT ALL CENTS DATED 1820 ARE RANDALL HOARD PIECES!)

Thanks Adrian. I've added a question to the original post, if anyone could help attribute it I would be grateful.

It's an N-13, the commonest 1820 variety, and the commonest die marriage overall in the Randall Hoard. While its attribution as N-13 does not guarantee it was from the hoard, it is 99% likely. Its commonness as a variety does not detract from its beauty as a sharply struck, well-preserved early cent. It is in fact a large date variety.

P.S., my attribution can easily be verified by looking at coinfacts.com, where photos of all of the 1820 Newcomb varieties can be viewed.

Yours is Newcomb 13, which does happen to be the most predominate Randall Hoard variety from 1820

N-13

Also, most, if not all Newcomb vars. are imaged on the Coinfacts website. A link is on the PCGS.com home page. Cheers.

Hedden beat me to it.
