  All 1837 large cents are identified by die cracks distinctive only to the coin in question.
  No die cracks are visible in the photos.
  
  Obverse attributes seen are----
  Plain hair cords.
  Lower curl very thick reaching beyond left center of 7.
  IB leans left and bases touch as do ER.
  
  Reverse attributes----
  letters of legend are large.
  All three A's are reworked on inner right foot.
  Line under Cent weak and fading to the left.
  Left pendant of T broken as is both bottom serifs.
  N leaning left.
  
  Final confirmation--look for obverse die crack through 3rd and 4th star reaching to rim at both ends.
  On reverse look for a die crack joining ER and running over RICA to rim at both ends.
  
  If so then Newcomb 15 with reverse J and very scarce in upper mid grade as photo shows.
