Two nice early large cents: 1806 1C ex-ANACS VG08 (ex-Dansco 7070), and 1812 1C PCGS F12 TrueView.

The 1806 Draped cent has a little bit of a knock near the obverse rim (not affecting the edge much), but this was not serious enough for ANACS to have net-graded it. It has smooth, nonporous, above-average surfaces. The coin was cracked out of the ANACS holder by its previous owner, who kept it in a Dansco 7070 type set, as I mentioned in the title. The scan is very low-res; only 65 dpi- I had to scrunch the jpeg quality down to upload it here, which blurs or makes grainy some of the finer details.
$125 delivered. I have $115 in it, which is trend price in both the Redbook and on Numismedia. So after shipping, I'm not making a ton of money on it. It ought to be worth the $10 premium to you, though, for its superior surface quality. The somewhat-tattered ANACS label is included if you want it.
I also just got this 1812 (large date?) cent graded at PCGS. Part of the same original collection, it too was cracked out of an ANACS (F12) holder to put into a Dansco 7070 album. I submitted it raw to PCGS at the Charlotte ANA show this spring and it received the same grade from them- a straight crossover. So this one is encapsulated. It is not in hand yet, but it shipped from CA on the 11th, so I should have it here in GA any day now. I was surprised it didn't come today.
This piece has some light chatter on the cheek but again, above-average surfaces, particularly for a Classic Head cent, as this type was struck on inferior copper, which I believe was due to shortages caused by the War of 1812. Speaking of War of 1812 history, you've got it right here in the date on this coin. Another above-average quality early copper, and this with TrueView photographs.
I believe I will ask $265 for this coin, which is again, a small premium over the Redbook and Numismedia prices, but not unreasonable in my opinion. (I don't know what Greysheet says and I don't care). You don't often see nice midgrade Classic cents that aren't porous.

PS- EAC folks, I love y'all and I respect your vast knowledge and wisdom, but I really don't care to hear how you would grade these FR02 or AG03 by your incredibly strict standards. They are what they are. (Actually, if you pay me, you can grade them however you like).
