  I don't know about the variety markers for this series, but it appears that someone attempted to make a naughty word by altering the E in CENT.

  In the "wild" generally means in circulation.

  Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

  I think here it means miss attributed or unattributed. Nice pick up... and good eye! I'm not certain the rarity value, but I believe the finest known is xf40...

  did you find it slabbed or had it slabbed? share the label.

  looks like it spent some time in the ground, but someone did a good job removing a lot of the dirt without damaging it.

  I’ve generally seen “in the wild” referred to as when a raw coin is cherried, either as a variety, a tough date, or one that slabs as a high grade.

  Regardless, finding an R7 large cent unattributed is a major score!

  @coin22lover, you never fail to impress.

  I know the effort is not trivial.
