2 years, 1857 and 58.  1856 was a pattern not a coin.

Yup, I have both years but would love to get a 56 but I believe RB states on 2K to 3K where produced.

That is common even on modern coins.

Thanks Greenstang!

Good day everyone, I have an 1858 large letters cent that looks a bit off center to me. Does anyone know if this is common?

The lack of denticles on the reverse upper right side and obverse left of the date caught my eye.

...... and the second is a nice 63, with a shot at 64

On a side note for the 85cc it looks like a VAM3 as well. While that may not add any more value it's just nice to know to some .... nice looking coin.

And the arc is a very prominent die crack. Perhaps jGrinz can help with that.

The only thing going for you to possibly send this in is if it were one of the five VAM's  that are either Top 100 or Hot 50 designations. While it is doubtful this one is ....  if you like to do research you could investigate. While the pics aren't very detailed and  I don't see anything that pops out to me you could still take a look on Vamworld.

Looks like you may have a winner but would have liked to see complete photo of reverse.

Yes Bob, I doubt it would be Cameo but think it may get a 68 (so that means it will grade at 67 )

Here are some better pics .... any lines, spots or blemishes are on the plastic. I'm reluctant to remove as of yet unless I am sure I want to send it.

 Get a barcode reader app and see if the barcode also matches?

The NGC phone app is super quick and easy to scan coin .... anyone on here should download it if they haven't already. (and PCGS too)

It scanned good on my phone app.

While going through some proof set I took another look at this 1964 which appears to be an accent hair proof. I know it's difficult to give any accurate assessment of a grade though pics and the fact it is still in the packaging. The coin is far from perfect but what is shown in the obverse photo is on the plastic not the coin.  I may consider to send this one  in on my next submission. Any thoughts on real value to be graded?

There are many coins out there that are naturally toned that I think look great .... and no, they do not always have every color of the rainbow.

Thinking  perhaps a Vam 7A or 7B 

Better close up would help though.

Nice bunch of dimes. I would guess maybe MS63 or 64 on the one in the close-up.

If you ever want to remove them from the tube without dumping them, try this: Lay a soft cloth on the table. Stuff a cotton ball in the mouth of the tube, leaving a little hanging out. Turn the tube over carefully and place it, mouth down, on the cloth.Then, tilt the tube, and use tweezers to pull away the cotton a little at a time, until the coins are resting on the cloth. Lift off the tube carefully, and, voila, you have a stack of dimes.

I hear ya Bob ... I assure I didn't dump them ! I carefully placed them for the pic LOL. 

Just wanted to show the condition of the entire roll which I was surprised how nice they are 

Thanks for the look Coinbuf !  I took out one each from a tube I have of each date randomly. Trying to see if I want to go through them all closely or just sell the rolls as is. 

Thoughts on the MS grade these are. 1961 and 1961-D  MS RD 1C

63 or higher? 

I recently acquired a roll of Roosevelt dimes in a Whitman tube - sealed for what looks to be since minting. Just throwing this out there for opinions on where you think these would grade. All 50 are pretty similar in how clean and frosty they are, some with very minor spots (kinda like milk spots). I'm thinking MS63 or so?

yup, another one to just have around to look at

Thanks!

Got it Greenstang, it will just stay in my collection 

My last large cent post is for a 1847 large cent in pretty decent shape with some heavy damage that goes through the obverse to the reverse with some distortion on the reverse. I initially thought pmd but figured I'd throw this one out there for some other opinions. Thanks for looking!

Since I have posted about the clipped cent I have I figured I would post two other that I would like opinions on. The first is this 1853. Just like to get others thoughts on condition. I was thinking in the F-12 (VF-20??)

I have what I thought to be a clipped large cent that I have more of a coin I like to have as opposed to value but after reading through a thread earlier today I am questioning if it is in fact pmd.

If you are referring to a " Ragged Clip", then I think that coin is PMD. There is no sign of the blakesly effect which should be prominent on a coin with that much missing on 1 side.

After reading through this thread I am second guessing a clipped  large cent I have. I'll take post on it later with some photos.

If you search for "ngc coin slab wall frame" there are some out there in various sizes and styles.

Wow! quite a few different option too. Not for me (I prefer a safe!)

Nice result - Did you not pay the extra for VAM attribution ?

 

None of these had a VAM that NGC would have recognized. I really do like the 84 tho .... Some may be interested if it could fall in the R6 area.

Just a follow up for those interested in the grades on the Morgans. I just got the update and put them in a new set category ... here's the link.

MS64 perhaps, it is a beauty tho.

Great pics on Vamworld! I need to get a microscope too .... so what is the actual grade J ?
