Need Large Cent attribution help

unclebob

I don't know too much about Large cents. Picked up this 1843 a few weeks ago. The 1852 several years ago. Was wondering if somebody could help me attribute these.

1852

The 1843 is an N-5. Not tough to attribute as there are only four varieties of the Mature Head in 1843.

The 1852 is tougher without really good photos or seeing it in hand. Die markers are hard to make out. It looks like N-8 to me.

I agree the 1843 is N-5.

It looks like the 1852 may be an N-6, as the "1" is embedded
in the bust, but the condition of the piece limits a certainty on this.

Just my WAG.
