Copy the IMG code from photobucket. Paste it here. When done with your message, hit the 'Reply to Thread' button.

You got it!

I guess I will do my part and edit mine....you know...for the dial uppers!

On the photobucket page below your photo there are 3 links, the bottom link of the 3 links will have img before and after the link. Paste that link into your post and the image should show. You can use preview to be sure it's going to work. Good luck!

Now that your coin is here, just wait for a Large Cent expert.

I'd guess S-44.

I agree with coxe, it is S-44 (common). You can just make out the large reverse die crack near 1:00 and towards the center. You may have had problems attributing this copper for a couple of reasons: 1) it has been burnished to reduce the effects of surface corrossion (probably was in the ground) and, 2) the hair has been amateurishly reengraved to make it appear to be of a higher grade. Oddly enough I like it, at the right price level.

I agree. I was going to call it Sheldon T1T. (tooled one time). Except I would call the hair artisticly re-engraved. it actually doesn't look bad--not much like the original but not bad. --Jerry
