I've been fascinated for a long time by the large cents (and other coins) of the time period 1835-1843, that showed a lot of transition from the old designs of engraver Robert Scot, to William Kneass, and finally Christian Gobrecht.
This example was acquired from Mary Sauvaghn (sp), who was working for Gary Adkins at the time - so it's been in my possession for a while, but just recently had it photographed:
Here is the original pic of the rev:
And the grade......I may actually be motivated enough to send this one to that sticker company for their opinion:

I'd venture a guess of 66 RB.
cent is an art. The correct spelling is Mary Sauvain, by the way.
<< <i>Copper is SO hard to grade using images. Balancing the luster and color of a nice large
cent is an art. >>
You are quite right about that, that's why I had it done professionally, because I could never come close.
Thanks Broadstruck - but the reverse really has a little more green and less red. I'll try and play with the original images from the cd a bit more.

I knew it would happen.
<< <i>Nice piece. Do you have a matching example of the 1843 with larger reverse letters? >>
I have the 1843, Mature Head, Large Letters reverse, purchased from CVM a while back.
It slabbed a lowly MS62 at our host, and I didn't deem it photo-worthy at this time

Meeeee too! Lovely bit 'o green copper there Mr. M. My grade guess was 64BN before I saw the slab grade.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Nice one.
They all said it looked undergraded in that holder. So perhaps it may attain gold bean status someday.
