Update: 1847 Large Cent....Confirmed N-23 (R5) LDS...ChaChing!

Crazy4Coins

With the help of fellow forum members I now know that my 1847 is a N-23 variety (R5). It appears that the die state is somewhere between the "D" die stage and final terminal stage "E". The later die states appears to be much more elusive than earlier stages. I knew there was something about the coin I liked when I bought it It's currently holder by NGC as MS65BN. Maybe someone can point me towards a fellow EAC collector/dealer that specializes in large cent varieties which can help me determine its value/premium?

Thanks for all the help....especially MikeInFL

Very nice.

Looks like an N-23 to me.
If it is it's a rarer one and a nice find in that condition

I agree with the N-23 - BUT
You sure picked a tough date for attribution!!
According to my old Newcomb book, there are 40 different varieties of 1847 Large Cents!!

Thanks....N-23 sounds like a possible match. 40 varieties for the year...wow!...I knew there was a reason I hadn't attributed yet

You definitely have an 1847 N-23, and it looks like die state c. Rarity 5.

And that is one beautiful example !!!

Another forum member is emailing me some photos so I can confirm it's a N-23, but it sounds like it is already a lock. I checked the NGC Pop reports for this variety and it only list a total of 3 with the highest graded 63. I don't have access to ANACS pops but I would assume they attribute as well.

My coin is in a NGC holder graded MS65BN, could it be a Top Pop coin for the variety?

I'd check with the EAC guys about this for much more accurate populations. A great majority of early copper is raw so the TPG pop reports probably aren't too reliable in this instance.

Beautiful copper!!
