1800 - 1801 - 1802 Large Cents...varieties?

I'm still wet behind the ears on early copper, but I believe at least one of these or maybe more...is/are a better variety.

    The 1801 appears to be the common (R1) S223 variety.

    I'm not even going to attempt the other two....I have enough trouble with 1800 cents in higher grades in hand -
    but good luck!

    Yes, attributing the 1800 large cents is really hard. I had one in VF-EF at one time, and it took me forever to figure out the Sheldon number.

    The year 1800 is the most difficult for me to attribute as well, especially in the lower grades.

    1802 "appears" to be S-237, largest berries.

    Agree with Walkerguy 1801 S-223.


    Coinlover, you would have better luck with ID'ing your
    coins if the images were much bigger, brighter & not
    spotlighted with glare. To ID die pairs one needs to see
    all the coin for die cracks, defects, clash marks, etc.

    As for 1800,,,I'd charge by the hour. image
