Another Early Copper - and GTG, with a twist OBV and GRADE Posted

I know, probably many won't like this, as it isn't really fair, but it's not a contest to see who's the best or anything -
in this case, I just want to know what you think based just on the reverse image provided, and maybe as a learning
opportunity as well.

This is the much tougher (IMO) Lettered Edge 1795 large cent....relatively small difference in price from the thin planchet
Plain Edge cent (like the one I posted earlier today), but I think they are a lot scarcer, and represent a major, distinct variety.

Here goes:

VF30

410a · January 23, 2015 8:07AM

.........VF 35.......S-75 ?

kalshacon · January 23, 2015 8:08AM

I will also say VF.

Looks recolored to me but I guess that is ok with 18cen copper
Xf40

BigMoose · January 23, 2015 8:16AM

XF45 and probably a Sheldon-75.

35

Looks VF-25 give or take a point.

I agree that it looks like it is probably recolored and I am guessing that all the white specks I see are on the slab? And no it's not fair to have just one side to grade from but looks pretty strong so I will go with 40.

30

AU 50.

Raybo · January 23, 2015 11:44AM

Low is 25 and high is 50 (so far), going by the reverse she looks 35ish to my eyes.
Nice coin!

Thanks everyone for humoring me, and confirming my same thoughts.....

Now here is the obverse of the coin, and the grade - which to me looks like it was based heavily on the weakly struck obverse,
rather than the coin as a whole:

Moldnut · January 23, 2015 12:51PM

Wow, that's a head scratcher.

lasvegasteddy · January 23, 2015 12:58PM

note to self...watch this walkerguy21d
he's a tricky wabbit

lol...oh well
that's one meaty set of details on reverse of your f12
i need to up my magnification on my glass and buy a new higher resolution monitor...ASAP

hopefully i added some entertainment worth here guys

Walkerguy21D · January 23, 2015 1:03PM

I agree with Moldnut - that's a head scratcher....I know I've seen wide variation in detail from obverse to reverse, but this
one about takes the cake. I was Ok paying slightly over Fine Bid for it, especially since the price pretty much doubles jumping
to VF - if you can find a full VF priced at Bid LOL!

crypto79 · January 23, 2015 1:05PM

Whole lot of netting going on there for sure color, strike and the graders bad mood

indeetlib · January 23, 2015 9:00PM

Wow - that is one harsh grade. I don't see anything about this coin that is not a solid VF, considering the typically blunt hair detail. That should absolutely be resubmitted. Quite a score at the price you paid - nice going!
