Large Cent and small cent guess the grade

[Dwaine]

1908 IHC:

 

1850 Large Cent:

[warriorbassman-migration]

Indian head - ms63 RD...kinda hard to tell because of the lighting.

 

Large cent - ms64 BN

[James_OldeTowne]

I'll guess MS-63 RB and MS-64 BN.

[warriorbassman-migration]

ya, I recant its RB

[lkenefic]

I'd say MS63RD on th IHC and AU58 on the LC

[MikeInFL]

I think NGC graded these:

64 RD

65 RB (Edited to add: if NGC graded that coin AU, I will eat a large cent ).

Thanks for sharing...Mike

[MarkFeld]

I'll go with 64RD and 64BN.

[relicsncoins]

I'll say 62RD on the Indian and 64BN on the Large Cent.

By the way, assuming the little scratches and marks on the holder, that large-cent would probably go MS-60+ by EAC grading standards. If it has a proper NGC commercial grade, then I think it's a very choice piece.

Some very good guesses. Here are the actual grades:

 

1908 IHC - NGC MS64 RD

1850 Large Cent - N-7 MS 65 BN

[Keleum]

Very nice coins...

 

For my own edu-ification...

 

On the indian head, I thought the "halo" was a sure sign of circulatedness. Do the brown cheeks mean minor wear or just from how it was stored.

 

On the large cent? wouldn't the nicks on the face/neck keep it in the low 60s? Or is that acceptable on copper that is this old?

 

 

[MikeInFL]

Keleum, I think the "halo" you are referring to on the IHC is just some mellowing of the red color rather than wear. On the large cent, the "nicks" on the face/neck looked to me to be on the holder (Dwaine, can you confirm?). All IMHO...Mike

 

p.s. thanks for the recipe, WJ!

55 and 63

[jesbroken]

IHC----MS63 RD

LargeCent--MS64 BN

Very nice coins-especially the large cent.

[Dwaine]

I will confirm later tonight when i get home but yes, I believe the things you are seeing are on the holder and not the coin.

 

My cent Dansco page is filling up rather nicely. I will try to take a picture of it sometime this weekend.

[lkenefic]

wow... I certainly screwed the pooch on the Large Cent!!! I thought I saw rub ever so slightly on the hair above the ear... maybe I've been looking at too many EAC-graded LCs lately??

[relicsncoins]

I thought the cheek on the Indian looked really rough, must be the holder though.

Mike,

 

thanks for your comments. I learn a lot from these grade threads.
