I have one 1808/6 Large Cent. Its VF (raw) and in my Type Collection.
Redbook lists two varieties; Small 7 over 6 - blunt 1, and the Large 7 over 6 - pointed 1. I have the pointed 1 variety.
Heritage "My Collection" software shows these by Sheldon Number - 272 or 273.
So my question is - can one of you tell me which Sheldon Number goes with which Redbook variety? Or where is an online source to view this? >>
Hi old man, I mean Dan. Welcome!
I'm sure you can get that question answered here, by early copper experts here (I'm not one of them...Bill, are you listening?). But you should start a new topic because it may not be noticed, buried here. Lance.
You Suck! Awarded 6/2008- 1901-O Micro O Morgan, 8/2008- 1878 VAM-123 Morgan, 9/2022 1888-O VAM-1B3 H8 Morgan | Senior Regional Representative- ANACS Coin Grading. Posted opinions on coins are my own, and are not an official ANACS opinion.
Stone: <<This is one of my favorite overdate coins of all time. Bold and brilliant>>!
I hope that Stone and others who agree with his point here had a chance, at some point, to view the full red 1807/6 that was just auctioned at the ANA Convention. It is something else!
It is interesting that it was sold in 1999 as part of a collection, which was formed by the late Juan Suros, that distinguished itself as being devoted to overdates. Does anyone here recollect other such collections of overdates, including copper, silver and gold? Suros had an 1825/4 Half Eagle and the finest known 1817/4 half dollar, among other treasures.
1) The reasons for resurrecting an old thread are both fair and obvious, IMO. This thread is about 1807/6 cents. The most exciting 1807/6 thread was just auctioned and is 'in the news' now!
Most of those who participated in this thread probably subscribed to it and have already indicated an interest in 1807/6 cents. It makes sense to communicate about 1807/6 cents to those who have already shown an interest in 1807/6 cents.
Also, others who are now interested in 1807/6 cents may wish to read remarks put forth about 1807/6 cents by fellow collectors in the past. It is logical for this thread to have been resurrected.
2) People who have been banned can read threads. Anybody with Internet access and a web browser can read this thread. Some people who have been banned have friends who are current members. Besides, in some cases, banned members are re-admitted.
3) I did NOT just post a link to an article, which is educational. I put forth remarks that are NOT in the article and I asked a fair question, which was directed to members of this forum, about perspectives on collections of overdates.

I agree, when it comes to circulated copper. Tough as the dickens.
Using a black background vs a white background seems to help for me.

Nice ones so far, do you have any of the classic series?

The 1807/6 pointed 1 variety is the more common S-273 Pointed one/large 7 variety.

Is the Naftzger-Blay 1807/6 the only Gem Quality & Full Red ‘Early Date’ Large Cent?
<< <i>Stone was banned here well over a year ago so not sure he'll see you view recommendation? >>
I don't think that matters to that person....it's more a chance to resurrect an OLD thread in order to promote an article he wrote.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
