My Latest 1853 Set Addition Arrived.

[texasrichard]

Having just returned from some out of town work I was pleased to find my latest addition to my 1853 set waiting for me. This was from the recent HA auction and in their pics I thought the coin was nicer than graded but now in hand I'd say it is properly graded. These are my pics of the coin. While it does have some hits here and there it is a very well struck 1853 large cent. Every single star show definition and the dentils are pretty nice all the way around on both sides of the coin. I'm very happy with it even though it's still not as nice of coin as my 1853 Half Cent, it does compliment it well. I don't know the variety of it but will try to find out some day. Its found a good home with me and I look forward to taking care of it for this part of its journey through history. Comments welcome, good or bad as that is how I learn. Thx.

Very nice.

As I recall, it is more lustrous and even better looking in person. And I think I was the under-bidder on it.

That is a truly beautiful coin and it has a much better strike around the perimenter than is often seen on these issues.

great strike and even greater eye appeal on this LDS coin

While the 1853 has to be overall the most common Coronet by far, that is an unusually nice example! It exemplifies perfectly just how underrated "brown" copper is.

thanks all and Mark is right as my pics don't really do the coin justice. Someone ATS said it is a Newcomb 4 N4, but I personally don't know how to tell for sure.
